Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 206-210 Ashbury Street, located in Park North, was constructed in 1908 and contains three units. The property is currently owned by Karina Umehara and has undergone several significant improvements in recent years. Most notably, in 2019-2020, the building received substantial updates including kitchen renovations, bathroom modifications (tub to shower conversion), heating system replacement, and electrical upgrades to kitchen circuits and furnace systems. An emergency repair to the building's service entrance weather head was completed in October 2021. The building had a notable cluster of building violations documented in May 2004, primarily related to fire safety issues such as emergency exit requirements, smoke detector installations, and combustible storage concerns, though these were all abated by July 2004. The property has undergone regular safety inspections by Housing Inspection Services in 1994, 2000, 2004, and 2017, indicating ongoing oversight of building conditions.

Recent external maintenance issues near the property have been documented through multiple 311 calls, primarily regarding sidewalk cleanliness and parking enforcement matters, though these are not directly related to building conditions. The most recent building-related work occurred between 2019-2021, focusing on modernization and safety improvements. While the building had some concerning safety violations in 2004, these were promptly addressed, and there have been no similar documented issues in recent years. The most recent incident related to the building was a smoke detector activation due to malfunction, though this was not tied to any fire-related emergency. The building's permit history shows regular maintenance and updating of essential systems, including plumbing, electrical, and structural components, suggesting proactive property management.

Risk rating

How 206-210 Ashbury 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
67th percentile

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 263 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.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Building age

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 73.9%
Moderate concern 16.2%
Severe concern 9.9%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
