Initial analysis

The 5-unit apartment building at 862-866 Vallejo Street in North Beach, owned by Chew Living Trust, is a 3-story multi-family residential structure built in 1907. The building has a documented history of addressing various maintenance and safety issues, with significant attention paid to its stair systems. Between 2002 and 2015, multiple permits were issued and completed for stair repairs, including a 2002 repair of stringers, landing joists, and tread of the rear stair, a 2006 permit for back stair repairs, and compliance work in 2008 for stabilizing three rear exterior exit stairs. In 2015, the building underwent a routine safety inspection that identified several issues requiring attention, including repairs to wood stairs, resolution of egress obstructions, and compliance with smoke detector and carbon monoxide alarm requirements; all of these violations were abated by July 29, 2015.

The building's maintenance history shows regular improvements and compliance work, including the installation of vinyl windows in 2005, repair work valued at $700 in 2008, and two street space permits in 2013 and 2015. Earlier improvements include a 1997 reroofing project and the installation of aluminum windows in 1988. There were two incidents of reported sewage leakage in April 2010, which were addressed within two months. The most recent documentation shows a parking enforcement call in 2018 regarding a sidewalk parking violation, which was investigated but not confirmed. The property has demonstrated a pattern of responding to regulatory requirements and maintaining its infrastructure, with no active violations or complaints as of the latest available data.

Risk rating

How 862-866 Vallejo St's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of SF DBI inspection data — notice of violation filings, complaint history, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that DBI inspectors will issue a Notice of Violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
