Initial analysis

The property at 947-949 Steiner Street is a three-story, two-unit multi-family residential building located in the Alamo Square neighborhood, built in 1900 and currently owned by Rezai Bypass Tr. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the past two decades, including a complete reroofing in 2008 ($11,640) and interior renovations in 2010 ($5,000) that involved drywall installation, insulation, and painting in the living room, as well as fence repairs. A major series of violations and complaints was recorded in July 2019, involving multiple safety and maintenance issues such as heating system problems, rodent infestation, window repairs, electrical concerns, and water damage, though these violations were officially abated by December 2019.

Recent activity on the property has primarily involved external maintenance and neighborhood issues. As of late 2024, there have been recent reports of a damaged side sewer vent cover (July 2024) and two tree-related incidents (including a fallen tree in November 2024). The property has experienced recurring street cleaning and debris issues, with multiple general cleaning violations recorded between 2021-2024. There have also been two instances of graffiti reported on or near the property (2022-2023), and one blocked sidewalk complaint involving privately maintained vegetation (2020). The building's most pressing historical issues appear to have been resolved as of late 2019, though recent maintenance concerns suggest ongoing attention to property upkeep may be required.

Risk rating

How 947-949 Steiner 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.
