Initial analysis

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 4608-4610 California St, owned by Jennifer Jean Junkin, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1925 in the Lake-Presidio neighborhood. The property has undergone several renovations and maintenance projects over the years, with notable work in 2009 including a kitchen countertop replacement in unit 4610, gas fireplace installation, new gas supply lines, and electrical improvements including a new outlet and GFI. A sewer repair was completed in January 2010, and historical records show a kitchen remodel and bathroom tile replacement in 1991, and reroofing work attempted in 1993.

Recent activity related to the building has primarily involved exterior and street maintenance issues rather than internal building concerns. The property has had several 311 calls in recent years, including reports of pavement defects (open as of March 2024), garbage issues, and illegal parking incidents in 2023-2024. In 2022, there was an open tree-related issue concerning sidewalk damage from lifted roots. A fire alarm system complaint was filed in October 2021 but was determined to have no merit. The building's permit history and maintenance records suggest regular upkeep of essential systems, with most recent work focusing on infrastructure rather than major interior renovations. The property appears to be maintained under standard residential requirements, with no recorded violations or significant safety concerns in recent years.

Risk rating

How 4608-4610 California 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
