Initial analysis

The property at 83 Stanyan Blvd is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in the Lone Mountain neighborhood, owned by Howard A Epstein and constructed in 1939. The building's major infrastructure work includes the replacement of the main water supply and some copper piping completed in 1998, along with multiple repairs to address various maintenance issues. Historical permits show attempts to improve structural safety in 1998 with efforts to bolt down and plywood basement walls (permit expired) and repairs to address channel rustic damage and interior plaster issues in 1990 (permit expired). A sidewalk-related permit was issued in 2003, though the financial impact was listed as $0.00.

The building's maintenance record between 2014 and 2020 shows several incidents requiring attention to public infrastructure and the surrounding area. Notable recent issues include a lifted sidewalk reported in June 2019 (currently open) and tree root damage affecting the sidewalk in March 2020 (administratively closed). There have been recurring incidents of graffiti between 2014 and 2020, primarily affecting poles and signs, though these have all been resolved through various city departments including SES Graffiti Crew and DPT. Other miscellaneous incidents include a parked vehicle blocking a driveway in May 2018 (officer unable to locate), general street cleaning needs in August 2018 (resolved), and a service request related to barricades and cones in February 2016 (resolved through internal referral). While the building itself appears to be maintained through periodic infrastructure upgrades, most recorded incidents relate to public space management rather than direct building or unit issues.

Risk rating

How 83 Stanyan Blvd'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
71th percentile

Out of 519 buildings in this neighborhood, 151 are predicted to be safer.
