Initial analysis

The property at 232-234 Willard Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in Lone Mountain, built in 1910 and currently owned by Mercord Darcy & Weiss Jeffr. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past decades, with the most recent being a sewage backup issue reported and resolved in October 2023. The property has seen substantial window upgrades, with three separate window replacement projects between 2014-2016, including the installation of aluminum-clad wood windows on the front and vinyl windows elsewhere, for a total investment of approximately $24,000. Major system upgrades include water main and sewer replacements in 2013 and 2010, respectively, suggesting attention to infrastructure maintenance.

Historical records show some past maintenance issues in the mid-1990s, including heating problems and broken windows, though these were resolved. Earlier improvements included a significant roofing project in 2006 costing nearly $17,500, and in 1996, there was work on a rotted staircase that unfortunately expired without completion. More recent property calls have primarily concerned external matters such as sidewalk parking violations and graffiti, rather than building-specific issues. The building's maintenance history indicates regular upkeep and modernization efforts, with particular attention to window improvements and essential systems maintenance over the years.

Risk rating

How 232-234 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.
