Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 357-359 Arguello Blvd in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1906 and currently owned by Franklin M Heynemann Revoc. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the years, most notably in 2009-2010 when substantial work was performed on both units. Unit 359 received $25,000 worth of kitchen and bathroom upgrades, along with front stair repairs, while earlier proposed work in Unit 357 (valued at $19,000) was cancelled. During this renovation period, the building experienced multiple lead paint-related violations in October 2009 concerning improper sanding and scraping practices, lack of containment systems, inadequate signage, and cleanup failures - all of which were abated by February 2010. The building received comprehensive plumbing upgrades in May 2009, including installation of two tankless water heaters and new copper piping throughout the building, while electrical upgrades included new 200-amp service and extensive rewiring.

More recent records from 2024-2025 show ongoing maintenance issues primarily related to parking violations in the vicinity, with multiple citations issued for illegal parking. There are also recent concerns regarding a near-communication line overgrown tree (currently open as of December 2024). The building has had two fire-related incidents recorded, though neither resulted in civilian injuries - one being a smoke detector malfunction and the other an invalid assist call. The property underwent reroofing in 1997 and had street space permits issued in late 2006, suggesting ongoing maintenance and infrastructure improvements over its lifetime. Recent complaints also indicate periodic challenges with garbage management in the vicinity, though these appear to be external to the building itself.

Risk rating

How 357-359 Arguello Blvd'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, 586 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.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 81.3%
Moderate concern 14.5%
Severe concern 4.3%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
