Initial analysis

The property at 1335-1337 Vallejo Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Russian Hill neighborhood. Built in 1908 and currently owned by Joseph L. Mah, this flats and duplex-style building has undergone several significant renovations over the past few years, with the most substantial work occurring between 2018-2020. Major improvements included a comprehensive kitchen and bathroom remodel completed in 2019-2020, featuring new appliances, cabinets, fixtures, and electrical systems with dedicated circuits and modern lighting. The building also received new HVAC installation in early 2020, along with electrical system upgrades including a 90-amp subpanel installation. Other notable improvements comprise reroofing work completed in 2017 and various plumbing updates.

The building's maintenance record shows consistent attention to infrastructure improvements, though there was one instance of illegal short-term rental activity associated with the property between 2017-2018, which has been documented as resolved. Parking-related issues have been a recurring concern in the vicinity, with multiple citations issued for driveway blocking between 2017-2023, though these are external to the building's operations. While the property has experienced various renovation projects, all permits indicate proper adherence to building codes, with most recent improvements focusing on modernizing the building's amenities and systems. The most recent permit activity suggests the major renovation work has been completed, with building improvements generally following proper regulatory procedures and receiving appropriate inspections.

Risk rating

How 1335-1337 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
92th percentile

Out of 1133 buildings in this neighborhood, 91 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 88.3%
Moderate concern 8.4%
Severe concern 3.3%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
