Initial analysis

The two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 4533-4535 California Street in San Francisco's Inner Richmond district, built in 1909 and currently owned by the Lynne J Beeson Trust, has undergone several significant maintenance and repair projects over the past few decades. Most recently, in 2021, there was a tenant buyout at 4535 California Street for $5,000. The building experienced multiple sewer issues in December 2019, with two consecutive reports of 4-inch vent problems that required field work and flushing of the lower lateral. In 2018, there were complaints about unauthorized construction work involving a jackhammer, which was confirmed to be performed without proper permits, and there were also instances of graffiti on and near the property that required attention.

Historical maintenance records show various improvements to the property, including a deck repair project in 2009 focused on safety concerns, window and siding replacement in 2005 due to water damage, and multiple roofing projects in 1988 and 1999. The building had some code violation corrections completed in 1988, and a ground floor efficiency apartment gut and replacement project was also completed in that year. Routine housing inspections were conducted in 1996 and 1999, with one of them still showing as active as of 2023. More recent building-related issues include a furniture removal request in August 2024, and an illegal posting incident in 2021. The property's maintenance history suggests regular upkeep, though there have been some instances of work being performed without proper permits, as demonstrated by the 2006 and 2018 complaints.

Risk rating

How 4533-4535 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

Out of 1723 buildings in this neighborhood, 1206 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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

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 67.6%
Moderate concern 19.7%
Severe concern 12.8%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
