Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 91-93 Palm Ave, located in the Jordan Park/Laurel Heights neighborhood, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1916 and currently owned by Sioshansi Siamack. The property has undergone several significant renovations and maintenance projects over the years, with the most recent major work occurring in 2018-2019 when multiple improvements were made including window replacements (featuring 6 street-facing wood windows and 18 non-street-facing vinyl windows), bathroom renovations, and the installation of new water heaters. In 2022, the property received updates to the laundry facilities, including electrical work for washer and dryer installation. The building's maintenance history shows attention to safety concerns, with repairs to a rotted post and staircase in 2008, though some renovation permits from 2003-2007 (including stair additions and master bedroom modifications) were not completed.

Recent 311 calls regarding the property have primarily involved external issues such as parking violations and street cleaning matters, rather than building-specific concerns. There have been multiple reports of parking-related problems near the property between 2019-2023, though enforcement officers were often unable to locate the vehicles involved. The most recent building-related activity was the completion of laundry facilities improvement work in early 2022, while a 2-unit condominium conversion application and DPW referral have been in various stages of review between 2014-2023. The property has received consistent maintenance attention over its lifetime, with periodic updates to various elements including windows, plumbing systems, and interior spaces, suggesting active management of the building's infrastructure and facilities.

Risk rating

How 91-93 Palm Ave'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
57th percentile

Out of 272 buildings in this neighborhood, 117 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 81.5%
Moderate concern 14.5%
Severe concern 3.9%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
