Initial analysis

The property at 6321-6331 California Street in the Central Richmond neighborhood is a 2-story, 4-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1904 and currently owned by Yeh Fmly Tr. The building has a concerning recent history of structural and safety issues, most notably a foundation compromise reported in 2021 with sandbags being used for support, though this particular complaint was eventually abated in September 2022. More recently, in May 2024, there has been ongoing concern about liquid discharge from the garage area, with both plumbing complaints and a sewage backup reported in October 2024.

The building has a documented pattern of maintenance and safety concerns over the years. A series of violations were issued in 2001, including requirements for smoke detectors, self-closing doors, gas shutoff tools, and fire safety equipment, all of which were abated by September 2001. More recent violations in 2019 noted issues with exits/storage, fire extinguisher service requirements, and storage/ceiling clearance, which were subsequently abated. There was also a significant deck replacement permit application in 2016 that was disapproved. The building's systems have required attention over the years, including reroofing work (1997) and rear stair repairs (1988) due to dry rot, though these permits have since expired. A cluster of parking enforcement issues has emerged recently, with multiple citations issued for sidewalk parking violations between September and October 2024, though these are not directly related to building conditions.

Risk rating

How 6321-6331 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.
