Initial analysis

The 483-485 Frederick Street property is a 1905 two-unit multi-family residential building located in the Parnassus/Ashbury Heights neighborhood, currently owned by the Ehren S Kruger Trust. The two-story flats/duplex structure has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most substantial being a completed $220,000 addition to the rear of the building with associated garage and basement laundry room construction in 2000. Other notable historical improvements include aluminum window installation in 1984, dry rot repairs in 1993, kitchen renovations in 1998, and front stair repairs in 1999, though some of these permits have since expired.

Recent maintenance and safety concerns have primarily involved exterior issues, particularly during 2022-2023, when multiple incidents of offensive graffiti were reported (seven instances in total), along with graffiti-related illegal postings. While these exterior cosmetic issues were addressed by city services, they indicate some ongoing neighborhood maintenance challenges. The most recent building-related activity was a street space permit issued in March 2018, with an earlier sidewalk repair permit from 2005. A recent incident in August 2024 involved loose garbage and debris, which was promptly resolved by city services. The property's historical record shows regular maintenance and upgrades over the years, though most recent activity has been limited to exterior and public space maintenance rather than internal building improvements.

Risk rating

How 483-485 Frederick 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
