Initial analysis

The 850-858 Presidio Avenue property is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building located in Lower Pacific Heights, constructed in 1906 and currently owned by Do Dung M. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past decade, with particular attention required to recent complaints. Most notably, in late 2024, there were reports of a non-working light fixture, potential pest issues, exposed electrical wires, external wall cracks, bathroom ventilation problems, and mold in one unit. Previous building violations from 2015-2016 had documented issues with paint condition (including lead paint concerns), window frames, kitchen door frames, and weatherproofing, though these were reportedly abated by March 2016. The property has undergone various infrastructure upgrades including a new fire alarm panel installation in 2019, HVAC system improvements (furnace and water heater replacements), and electrical system upgrades such as dedicated circuits and fire safety improvements.

The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of reactive rather than preventative maintenance, with multiple permits issued for repairs and compliance issues over the years. Significant repairs have included stair repairs to address safety concerns, completion of roofing work (2012), and various electrical system improvements. Historical records indicate a previous complaint in 2008 regarding ventilation and egress issues related to neighboring construction. The property has also been subject to several 311 calls in recent months (October-December 2024) primarily related to street cleaning and parking enforcement matters outside the building, suggesting ongoing maintenance challenges in the immediate vicinity.

Risk rating

How 850-858 Presidio 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
48th percentile

Out of 670 buildings in this neighborhood, 348 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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

Building age

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 55.1%
Moderate concern 24.5%
Severe concern 20.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
