Initial analysis

The property at 833-835 Baker Street is a two-unit, 1-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1895, currently owned by Tom Yuen. The building has undergone several significant structural repairs in the early 1990s, most notably foundation replacement in 1990 followed by the removal and replacement of termite and water-damaged stairs and risers. Subsequent repairs included addressing termite and dry rot damage in 1995, and in the mid-1990s a reroofing project was undertaken. The most recent major building improvement occurred in 2016 with the replacement of the service pipe.

The property's maintenance history includes several infrastructure challenges, with notable plumbing issues including a sewage backup incident in July 2021 and multiple pavement defects reported in 2009 and 2011. The building has experienced minimal safety incidents, with only one documented fire-related event in the form of a false alarm. Recent external challenges have included hazardous material incidents on the street (glass in 2016 and needles in 2022), though these were not directly related to the building structure or systems. The property has maintained compliance with building codes through various permit renewals and completions, though there were some instances of expired permits in the early 1990s requiring subsequent permits to complete the work.

Risk rating

How 833-835 Baker 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.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 64 are predicted to be safer.
