Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 68-70 Glover Street in Russian Hill, owned by Kayla M Ow, was constructed in 1908 as a two-story flats and duplex structure. The property underwent significant renovations in 2017-2018, including a comprehensive $49,000 update to the third-floor top unit that featured kitchen and bathroom remodels, laundry room improvements, electrical rewiring, window replacements, and the addition of new furnace and electrical sub-panel systems. The building has seen consistent roof maintenance, with two re-roofing projects recorded in 2008 ($7,300) and 2018 ($7,000).

The property has experienced recurring issues with driveway blocking, particularly notable between 2020 and 2023, with multiple parking enforcement calls (10 instances in total) including at least one case where a citation was issued. While these parking issues have been addressed through official channels, they indicate ongoing challenges with parking access at the property. Additionally, there was one recorded fire incident involving excessive heat and scorch burns, though no ignition occurred and no civilian injuries were reported. The building's maintenance and improvement record shows regular upkeep and modernization efforts, particularly focused on the upper unit, with all permits properly processed through the city.

Risk rating

How 68-70 Glover 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

Out of 1133 buildings in this neighborhood, 374 are predicted to be safer.
