Initial analysis

The two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 81-87 Fortuna Ave, owned by Barney Chan, was constructed in 1951 in the Anza Vista neighborhood. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and safety improvements over its history, with the most recent notable upgrade being the installation of a 50-amp 240V plug in the garage completed in 2018. In 2003, the building underwent a routine safety inspection that identified several concerning issues, including required repairs to the top landing of wood stairs and the installation of battery-operated smoke detectors at the top of enclosed stairs, though these violations were successfully abated by February 2004. The building's maintenance history includes a 1995 reroofing project and a completed partition installation in 1991. The property has been subject to regular safety inspections, including recent checks in 2000 and 2017, which suggests ongoing oversight of building conditions.

The surrounding area has experienced several infrastructure-related incidents, including two streetlight shield requests in 2019 (one resolved with installation, another notably declined), a defaced sign in 2015, and a water main break in 2009 that was escalated to water authorities. While the building has had its share of maintenance and safety issues in the past, the record shows that violations have been addressed in a timely manner, with no active violations currently on file. The property appears to be maintaining its compliance with current building safety requirements, with no recent citations or violations noted in the past several years.

Risk rating

How 81-87 Fortuna 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

Out of 136 buildings in this neighborhood, 76 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

Number of units

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.

Moderate concern 20.6%
Severe concern 10.8%
