Initial analysis

The four-unit, two-story apartment building at 1271-1277 Vallejo Street in Russian Hill, owned by Lai Bryon Nathan Living Trust, was constructed in 1911 and has undergone several maintenance and improvement projects over the years. Most notably, in 2013, the building received an exterior upgrade with the installation of vinyl siding on its right side, while previous significant work included a complete reroofing in 1995 and multiple aluminum window installations in 1986 and 1992. The building's maintenance history suggests regular upkeep, with the most recent major exterior improvement occurring over ten years ago.

The property has experienced recurring issues with parking violations in the surrounding area, particularly concerning driveway blocking and sidewalk parking, with multiple incidents recorded between 2021 and 2025. These violations have generally been addressed by parking enforcement, resulting in citations or other resolutions. The building's immediate vicinity has also faced challenges with street cleanliness and maintenance, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in 2023 and 2024 regarding garbage, waste, and graffiti, though these were marked as resolved. A single housing inspection routine complaint was filed in 2001 and promptly abated. While the building's permit and complaint history does not indicate any major safety concerns or system failures, the pattern of parking and street maintenance issues in the immediate area suggests ongoing challenges with neighborhood infrastructure and enforcement.

Risk rating

How 1271-1277 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.
