Initial analysis

151 Delmar Street is a historic three-story multi-family dwelling built in 1890, currently owned by the Kennedy Family Trust, and containing two residential units. The property has undergone several significant improvements over its history, with notable renovations taking place in 1987 when the building was reverted to its original two-family dwelling status from a previous configuration. This year saw multiple enhancements, including the installation of forced air heating units, electrical and plumbing work, removal of planter boxes for an overhead door installation, deck replacement, and basement repairs. A roofing project was initiated in 1997, though records indicate this permit has since expired. More recent improvements include the installation of a gas fireplace and gas line in December 2013, followed by additional gas line work in January 2014, suggesting ongoing modernization of the building's amenities.

The property is currently experiencing a notable pattern of parking-related issues, with multiple 311 calls regarding abandoned vehicles and illegal parking in the vicinity between February and October 2024. Specific incidents include multiple reports of abandoned vehicles (all of which were resolved as "Gone on Arrival"), two instances of driveway blocking (one resulting in a citation), and several other illegal parking complaints. A general public works service request from October 2024 remains open. While these parking issues occur off-site, they may impact resident convenience. The building's infrastructure appears to be generally well-maintained based on historical permit records, with no recent permits on file that suggest any major renovation or repair needs.

Risk rating

How 151 Delmar 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
87th percentile

Out of 351 buildings in this neighborhood, 46 are predicted to be safer.
