Initial analysis

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 630 Central Avenue, owned by Daniel P Mullan, is a 2-story flats and duplex structure built in 1913 in the Park North neighborhood. The building's maintenance history includes permit records from 1989-1991, showing interior improvements including kitchen cabinet installation and bedroom modifications in 1989, followed by more substantial repairs in 1991 addressing dry rot damage and garage door improvements.

Recent incident records from 2021 through 2024 show a pattern of parking-related issues near the property, with multiple documented cases of driveway blocking, resulting in citations for various vehicles. The most significant recent events include an unresolved fallen tree incident reported in September 2023 that remains open as of the latest data, and two hazardous materials incidents in August 2022 involving liquid substances that were successfully resolved. Additionally, there have been some street cleaning issues in the vicinity, including reports of garbage and debris in July 2024 and human or animal waste in May 2024, though these were not directly related to the building itself. The building's permit and incident history suggests ongoing maintenance attention is required, particularly regarding exterior elements such as the garage and potential moisture-related issues, given the age of the structure and historical dry rot repairs.

Risk rating

How 630 Central Ave'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, 343 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

DBI complaint rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building complaint rate across the owner's portfolio.

Permit rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building permit rate across the owner's portfolio.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 63.2%
Moderate concern 21.7%
Severe concern 15.1%
