AI summary

The property at 764-766 Ashbury Street is a three-story, multi-family residential building containing two units, constructed in 1906 and currently owned by the Jaffe-Scott Family Trust. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past three decades, including a bathroom remodel in 1993, kitchen renovation in the lower unit in 1993, multiple roofing projects in 1990 and 2006, and more recently, a bathroom remodeling project currently underway as of September 2024, which includes updates to the shower pan, waterproofing, tiling, and associated electrical and plumbing work with a budget of $25,000.

In August 2024, there was a sewage discharge issue from the side sewer vent that was resolved by the PUC - Sewer Operations. The building has experienced recurring graffiti incidents on nearby poles throughout 2024, and there were some street maintenance issues including garbage, debris, and a loose manhole cover in early 2024. The most recent 311 call as of January 2025 reports human waste or urine in the vicinity, which is currently in progress status. While the building has received regular maintenance attention over the years, including addressing various infrastructure needs like roofing and bathroom updates, the recent cluster of graffiti and sanitary issues in the surrounding area may be of interest to potential residents.

Risk rating

How 764-766 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.
