Initial analysis

The 6424 California Street property is a 2-story, 3-unit multi-family residential building located in the Lake-Presidio neighborhood, owned by Presto Marital Trust and constructed in 1968. The building has undergone several significant renovations, with the most substantial work occurring in 2015 when Units 2 and 3 received comprehensive updates including bathroom remodels, kitchen upgrades, and electrical improvements, with a total investment of approximately $20,000. During this same period, plumbing work was completed to install new fixtures throughout both units, and wall heater units were replaced. The building's maintenance history shows attention to roofing needs, with records indicating reroofing projects in 1989 and 2003, though these permits have since expired.

The property's recent maintenance and incident history (2019-2024) suggests ongoing attention to building upkeep, with a mix of resolved street-level issues including reports of garbage and debris, overgrown trees, and temporary construction-related disturbances. Two routine housing inspections conducted in 2001 and 2008 were completed without any documented ongoing issues. In mid-2015, there were reports of offensive graffiti on the building, though these complaints were promptly addressed and resolved within a few weeks. The most recent municipal service interactions primarily relate to external factors rather than building-specific issues, indicating a pattern of timely resolution of neighborhood concerns.

Risk rating

How 6424 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
