Initial analysis

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 6316-6318 California Street, owned by Yee Kam Yuen & Ma Cui Xia, has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects since its construction in 1921. The most recent notable work was completed in 2017, when stucco repairs were carried out on the front facade at a cost of $4,000. The building has a documented history of addressing both routine maintenance and specific issues, including a $15,000 shoring and underpinning project in 2003 due to adjacent construction. In 2003, multiple violations were recorded and subsequently resolved through a routine housing inspection, including fire safety concerns, plumbing and electrical issues, and security requirements. These violations were all abated by September 2003, demonstrating timely compliance with housing codes.

Earlier improvements include kitchen remodeling in 2012 ($8,000), stair repairs in 2008, and various exterior maintenance projects in the late 1990s and early 2000s, such as stucco replacement and tile installation. A notable compliance issue was recorded in 2003 regarding an unauthorized 18-foot rear addition and the installation of vinyl windows without permits, though this was eventually resolved. The building has experienced periodic maintenance needs, including mold issues in 1998 and various exterior maintenance requirements. Recent 311 calls from 2019 to 2024 primarily document street cleaning and sidewalk maintenance issues in the vicinity of the building, rather than interior or structural concerns. The property's maintenance record shows regular upkeep and prompt attention to violations when they occur, with no active violations or complaints on record as of the most recent data.

Risk rating

How 6316-6318 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.
