AI summary

The property at 6200 California St is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1924, currently owned by the Allen-valdez Family Revo6ab. The building has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, with the most substantial work occurring in 2021-2022, including a $50,000 interior remodel of second-floor unit #2, window replacements, and comprehensive updates to plumbing and electrical systems in that unit. The electrical infrastructure has been notably modernized, with a significant upgrade in 2006 replacing all fuse boxes with circuit breaker panels for all apartments, and more recent electrical work including the installation of a subpanel in unit #2 in 2022. The building had some concerning violations in 2001 related to fire safety, sanitation, and security, including issues with smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, combustible storage, and security features, though these were all promptly abated by July 2001. An inspection in 2002 resulted in findings regarding window latches and a lead paint notification, both of which were addressed.

The property's maintenance record shows regular attention to infrastructure upgrades, including a completed window retrofit project in 1998 and a reroofing project in 1993, though these permits have since expired. In recent months (from September 2024 to January 2025), there have been multiple reports of garbage and debris on the street, with at least ten separate incidents involving abandoned furniture, bagged garbage, and other debris, though these have been resolved through normal city processes. There was also one parking enforcement call in December 2024 regarding sidewalk parking, which could not be validated by responding officers.

Risk rating

How 6200 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
45th percentile

Out of 660 buildings in this neighborhood, 363 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 77.8%
Moderate concern 13.3%
Severe concern 8.8%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
