Initial analysis

The four-unit, two-story apartment building at 186 Stanyan Boulevard, owned by the University of San Francisco, was constructed in 1951 and has undergone numerous maintenance and improvement projects over its lifetime. The most recent significant work includes substantial stucco repairs in 2022, where the scope increased from 80 to 1000 square feet, and a related complaint about work beyond the permit's scope. Prior to that, the building received a new roof in 2020 at a cost of $28,800. Major renovations were performed in 2010-2012, including complete kitchen and bathroom remodels in units 1-4, with associated plumbing and electrical upgrades. The building experienced several fire safety-related violations in 2003 and 2011, including issues with fire extinguisher tags and fireproofing materials, though all were promptly addressed and abated. The property has maintained regular upkeep of its common areas, with routine inspections showing compliance, and recent maintenance efforts focusing on exterior improvements.

The building's maintenance history shows active management, with regular updates to building systems and living spaces. This includes multiple unit renovations, roof replacement, and exterior repairs. Historical permits from the early 1990s (which expired) show previous kitchen remodeling work, while more recent plumbing permits indicate systematic updates to fixtures throughout the building. The property has generated a few 311 calls in recent years, primarily related to street cleaning and a temporary moving sign request, but these are not indicative of building-specific issues. The most recent compliance history shows no active violations or complaints, suggesting effective response to previous regulatory requirements and ongoing maintenance of building systems and safety features.

Risk rating

How 186 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.
