Initial analysis

The two-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 6921-6923 California Street in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by Sarkissian Zareh, was constructed in 1923 and has undergone several significant improvements over the years. The most substantial renovation occurred in 2005-2006 when approximately $27,000 was invested in remodeling work, including expansion into existing ground-level storage areas to create a new family room, with subsequent electrical work involving lighting fixtures and furnace relocations. Earlier improvements include drywall installations in 2001 for the kitchen and bathroom areas, and a reroofing project completed in 1997.

The property has experienced various maintenance and infrastructure issues in recent years, with the most pressing current concern being a sidewalk defect reported in July 2024. The building's immediate vicinity has seen multiple street-related incidents, including several reports of loose garbage and illegal parking in 2022-2024, with the most recent parking-related incident occurring in February 2024. While many of these external issues have been promptly addressed by city services, including Recology and SFMTA, they do indicate ongoing neighborhood maintenance challenges. The building's permit history suggests regular upkeep and improvement efforts by the owner, with no recorded permits indicating any structural modifications that might impact resident safety.

Risk rating

How 6921-6923 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
78th percentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 495 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.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

DBI complaint rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building complaint rate across the owner's portfolio.

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 87.2%
Moderate concern 10.3%
Severe concern 2.5%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
