Initial analysis

This two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located at 38-40 Mallorca Way in the Marina neighborhood was constructed in 1926 and is currently owned by the Chin Family Trust. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past decades, with the most substantial work occurring between 2004-2005 when a new living area and bathroom were added behind the garage, including corresponding electrical work for lighting and circuits. The building has seen consistent maintenance and upgrades, including the installation of 29 new windows in 2000 (24 vinyl and 5 aluminum), reroofing in 1990, and repairs to the front stucco wall in the same year.

Recent history shows that the property has experienced recurring issues with driveway access, with multiple parking enforcement calls recorded between 2020 and 2024 for vehicles blocking the driveway. Between 2018 and 2023, there were several fire department responses, though all were related to false alarms or smoke detector activations with no actual fire incidents or civilian injuries recorded. The most recent building-related incident was a parking enforcement call in September 2024, which was unable to locate the offending vehicle. The building's maintenance record suggests regular upkeep, with no major structural or safety issues reported in recent years.

Risk rating

How 38-40 Mallorca Way'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.
