Initial analysis

The two-unit, two-story residential building at 1632 Union Street in Cow Hollow, owned by Walter Jerome, was constructed in 1912 and is classified as a Flats & Duplex property. The building's maintenance records show one significant structural improvement in recent history: a complete reroofing project completed in 2012 at a cost of $9,000. The property has experienced various municipal service calls over recent years, with no reported building-specific issues. The most recent 311 calls in 2024 included a reported encampment and illegal parking incident, while 2023 saw several municipal service requests primarily related to street-level infrastructure, including parking meter repairs and illegal postings.

A historical review of the area's municipal service calls reveals recurring issues with parking meters, including multiple reports of damage and graffiti between 2014 and 2015, all of which were resolved through appropriate municipal channels. Other neighborhood maintenance matters have included general street cleaning, sidewalk conditions, and parking enforcement issues. While these external factors provide context about the immediate neighborhood's conditions, they do not reflect on the building's structural integrity or tenant conditions, as there are no recorded complaints or violations specific to the building itself. The most recent building-maintenance records remain limited to the 2012 roofing work, with no subsequent major modifications or improvements documented in the available data.

Risk rating

How 1632 Union 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
