Initial analysis

The 282-284 Linden Street property is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in Hayes Valley, owned by Joseph & Clara Barbaccia Family Trust. Built in 1908, this flats/duplex structure has undergone several significant renovations, with the most recent major update occurring in 2019, costing approximately $30,000. This renovation included the replacement of front windows, kitchen, and bathroom refurbishments, along with the installation of a new gas furnace, electrical upgrades (including a 70-amp subpanel), and plumbing improvements. The building experienced a substantial plumbing incident in March 2011 involving water damage from a toilet overflow, which required extensive repairs to insulation, sheetrock, plumbing, and electrical systems, costing $18,000.

Recent records indicate ongoing concerns with street cleanliness around the property, particularly in early 2025, with multiple 311 calls related to garbage, debris, and sanitation issues. There have been several fire alarm activations at the address, all of which were determined to be either false alarms or system malfunctions, with no injuries reported. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep and necessary repairs have been addressed promptly, including a 1991 permit for violating repairs and various permits for street and sidewalk maintenance. The property's most significant recent improvements (2019) involved comprehensive updates to both units, suggesting a pattern of maintaining and upgrading the building's infrastructure when needed.

Risk rating

How 282-284 Linden 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.
