Initial analysis

The two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 109-111 Willard Street in the Lone Mountain neighborhood, owned by John Chun Wai Tam & Kimberl, was constructed in 1946 and has undergone several significant improvements over the years. The most substantial recent renovation occurred in 2021, when both units received comprehensive kitchen and bathroom remodels costing $120,000, including modernized fixtures, conversion of bathtubs to showers, window replacement in unit 111, and extensive electrical upgrades with new subpanels, circuits, and safety features such as smoke detectors. Prior to this, the property received attention to basic needs with a re-roofing project in 2018 ($12,340) and maintenance of essential systems including a house trap and sewerline replacement in 2008.

Historical records indicate some structural concerns were addressed in 2007 when repairs were made to bracing, posts, footings, and deck elements following a pest inspection. The building has also been maintained through various minor improvements, including a patio slider replacement in 2010 and necessary street permits over the years. Of note, there have been recent parking enforcement issues near the property, with two citations issued in May 2024 for sidewalk parking violations, though unrelated to the building's structural or safety conditions. The property's maintenance record shows regular upkeep and modernization efforts, with the most recent major work focusing on improving the units' comfort and safety features through the 2021 renovations.

Risk rating

How 109-111 Willard 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.
