Initial analysis

The 4-unit, 2-story apartment building at 6104 California St in Lake - The Presidio, owned by the Trust B The Pierre Arrabit, has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over its history since being built in 1963. The property went through significant renovations in recent years, including window replacements (2016), siding replacement (2015), and plumbing updates with a sewer line replacement (2007). However, the building faced serious housing code violations in 2016, including issues with mold/mildew on walls, floor covering repairs, window weatherproofing, and compliance with smoke alarm requirements, all of which were eventually abated by July 2017.

More recent concerns include a 2021 complaint about hazardous roof work and a 2017 report of ongoing mold problems, though these issues were marked as "Not Active." The building has undergone multiple roof replacements over the decades (1990, 2004) and foundation underpinning work was completed in 2000. Earlier violations from 2004 highlighted fire safety concerns, including fire escape maintenance and combustible storage issues, but these were also resolved. The property has maintained regular housing inspections, with routine checks in 1999 and 2004 showing various maintenance needs. Two fire incidents were recorded, though neither resulted in civilian injuries and were attributed to system malfunctions. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of addressing basic upkeep needs, though issues with moisture control and building envelope maintenance have been recurring themes.

Risk rating

How 6104 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.
