Initial analysis

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 197 Stanyan Blvd in the Lone Mountain neighborhood is a 2-story flats and duplex structure built in 1940, currently owned by Stanley & Palma Anastasio. The building has undergone several notable maintenance and repair activities over the past 24 years, with the most recent significant work occurring in 2021 when approximately 50 square feet of sheathing and stucco were replaced due to dry rot damage under windows along Turk Street, a project that cost $5,000. Historical maintenance records show previous attention to similar issues, including a 1999 repair of dry rot and stucco under two bay windows, and a re-roofing project completed in 2005 at a cost of $9,000. The building has experienced two minor fire-related incidents on record, one involving a smoke scare/odor and another being a false alarm, neither resulting in civilian injuries.

The property has been located in an area with various municipal maintenance needs, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in 2024, primarily regarding encampments and graffiti. Between September and December 2024, there were multiple reports of encampments that were ultimately resolved or cancelled, as well as instances of graffiti that required intervention by both public works and postal services. Additional reports from late 2024 included a traffic signal damage incident (linked to a PG&E outage) and cases of abandoned garbage that were resolved by municipal services. While these external issues may impact the neighborhood environment, they are primarily related to public infrastructure and urban maintenance rather than the building itself.

Risk rating

How 197 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
