Initial analysis

The two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 89 Cervantes Blvd, owned by Keith F. Marason, was constructed in 1925 and has undergone several significant improvements and maintenance work over the years. Most notably, in early 2024, the property completed an electrical upgrade to replace outdated knob and tube wiring with modern Romex wiring throughout multiple living spaces, including bedrooms, living room, dining room, and hallways. In 2018, the building experienced a car accident that caused minor structural damage to the front façade, prompting emergency repairs to stucco and framing at a cost of $7,200, which were completed in May 2018. The building has undergone various maintenance work including reroofing in 2011, kitchen remodeling in 1997 (with subsequent permits indicating updates to cabinets and countertops), and seismic safety improvements in 1996 involving bolting of accessible areas.

The property has faced some infrastructure challenges, with notable sewer-related incidents in February 2014 involving sewage backups that required intervention from PUC Sewer Operations. The building's location has experienced occasional parking-related issues, as evidenced by multiple complaints about driveway blocking in recent years (most recently in 2023), though these incidents were not validated by responding officers. The surrounding area has required periodic street and sidewalk cleaning, with multiple reports of loose garbage between 2015 and 2021, and there was one hazardous materials incident involving glass reported in 2018. The only recorded fire-related incident was a false alarm or call, with no injuries reported.

Risk rating

How 89 Cervantes Blvd'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
