Initial analysis

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 222-224 Carl Street, owned by the Case Family Trust, was constructed in 1938 and is located in the Parnassus/Ashbury Heights neighborhood. The property has undergone several permitted maintenance and infrastructure projects over the years, including a sewer line replacement of 20 feet completed in 2013, reroofing work completed in 1998, and attempted repairs to rustic siding and interior plaster in 1995, though this permit expired without confirmation of completion.

Of notable concern is the significant pattern of parking enforcement issues surrounding the property in recent months, with ten documented cases of driveway blocking between August 2024 and January 2025. Most of these incidents resulted in citations being issued, though there were instances where officers were unable to locate the offending vehicles. The street space permit issued in 2018 remains the most recent building permit on record. While the building's major infrastructure work appears to be several years old, there have been no recent permits filed for substantial repairs or improvements to the structure itself.

Risk rating

How 222-224 Carl 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

Out of 526 buildings in this neighborhood, 205 are predicted to be safer.
