Initial analysis

The property at 5827-5829 California Street is a two-story, multi-family residential building constructed in 1922, consisting of two units in the Central Richmond neighborhood. The building has undergone several significant renovations over the past decade, with the most substantial work occurring in late 2021, including a major kitchen and bathroom remodel valued at $88,500, the installation of a spiral staircase, and structural improvements such as replacing a wood beam with a steel beam in the garage. This renovation was accompanied by comprehensive electrical and plumbing upgrades, including new lighting, switches, 200-amp service, and new furnace installations for both units.

Recent records indicate some maintenance and quality-of-life issues in the vicinity of the building. There have been multiple reports of garbage and debris on the street, with the most recent incidents occurring in June and August 2024. A sewage backup incident was reported and resolved in January 2024, and there have been recurring issues with waste receptacles being left out continuously in 2022. The building's recent renovation history shows substantial investment in modernization and maintenance, with permits for kitchen refurbishments, bathroom updates, and window replacements, suggesting active property management. While the building has experienced some infrastructure challenges, particularly with the recent sewage issue, the comprehensive improvements made during the 2021-2022 renovation period demonstrate significant upgrades to the building's systems and living spaces.

Risk rating

How 5827-5829 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.
