Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 176-178 Pixley Street in Cow Hollow, owned by Eugene L & Gloria P Casaret, is a two-story flats and duplex structure constructed in 1929. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past decades, with electrical upgrades being a major focus. In 2004, the building received substantial electrical modernization including a new 200-amp service installation with multiple circuits and lighting, followed by further electrical improvements in 2010 that involved removing an old fuse box and adding new circuits. Other notable maintenance work includes a completed reroofing project from 1991 and a building use modification from 1982.

The property has experienced some recurring issues with abandoned furniture and debris on the surrounding streets in recent years, particularly in 2024, with multiple calls to Recology for street cleaning between June and October 2024, though most of these cases were resolved. There was also one incident involving human or animal waste in November 2020 that was resolved. The only recorded fire-related incident was a medical assistance call in 2004 with no civilian injuries reported. The most recent documented activity was a parking enforcement case in July 2021 regarding a blocked driveway, which was resolved. While the building's structural and systems improvements suggest proper maintenance over the years, the recent pattern of street debris incidents may be of interest to potential tenants regarding the immediate neighborhood environment.

Risk rating

How 176-178 Pixley 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.
