Initial analysis

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 260 Collins Street in the Lone Mountain neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1926, currently owned by James A. Delfino. The property's maintenance record shows two significant roofing projects, with the most recent completed in May 2010 at a cost of $8,224, and a previous roofing work completed in September 1989, demonstrating proper upkeep of the building's essential infrastructure over the years.

The building's recent history from 2020 to 2022 has seen three documented parking-related incidents, all of which were resolved through official enforcement action. These incidents included two cases of blocked driveways (in November 2020 and April 2021) and one case of sidewalk parking (in November 2022), with citations issued in the latter two cases. While these parking enforcement issues indicate some occasional challenges with on-street parking in the area, they are not directly related to the building's condition or management. The property's documented history suggests regular maintenance of major systems, particularly the roofing, while the parking incidents appear to be unrelated to the building's operations or structural conditions.

Risk rating

How 260 Collins 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.
