Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 5844-5846 California Street, located in the Lake-Presidio neighborhood, is a 2-story flats and duplex structure built in 1922 and owned by Noreen E Floreza. The building has undergone several significant renovations over the past two decades, with the most substantial work occurring between 2005-2006 when major electrical upgrades were completed, including the installation of new electrical service panels and extensive wiring work on both floors and the basement. During this period, the property underwent kitchen remodeling and bathroom renovations, including the conversion of a closet to a bathroom. The most recent building-related activity was a street space permit issued in 2018.

The property has experienced recurring issues with street cleanliness and waste management in the surrounding area, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls over the years. These calls have primarily concerned general cleaning needs, garbage, and debris issues, with the most recent incidents occurring in 2024 (electronics debris), 2023 (defaced parking sign), and 2022 (human or animal waste). The building's immediate vicinity has shown consistent patterns of requiring attention to public space maintenance, particularly regarding sidewalk cleaning and waste management, with multiple reports of loose garbage and overflowing city garbage cans between 2019-2024. While these external issues have been regularly addressed by city services and resolved, they indicate an ongoing challenge with the immediate streetscape environment around the property.

Risk rating

How 5844-5846 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.
