Initial analysis

The 2-unit multi-family residential building at 224-226 Cole Street in Park North, owned by Patrice Racko Lvg Tr, is a 3-story flats and duplex structure built in 1912. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade, with the most recent work occurring in 2023 including a bathroom remodel valued at $20,550, complete with plumbing updates (new tub, toilet, and sink) and electrical work (new bathroom fan and dedicated circuit breaker). This follows earlier improvements including a furnace replacement in 2014 and roofing work in 2017, though the latter permit expired without confirmation of completion.

The building's maintenance history suggests regular upkeep, particularly focusing on essential systems like heating and roofing. The property has experienced typical urban challenges in its vicinity, with several 311 calls between 2015 and 2021 primarily related to street and sidewalk cleaning issues, including reports of loose garbage and a couple of graffiti incidents. While these neighborhood concerns were all resolved appropriately, they reflect the general environmental context of the building's location. The most recent permitted work, including both bathroom remodeling and associated inspections, indicates ongoing investment in the building's maintenance and improvements, with no current safety or habitability concerns evident from the available records.

Risk rating

How 224-226 Cole 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.
