Initial analysis

The property at 175-177 Seal Rock Drive is a two-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Outer Richmond neighborhood, constructed in 1950 and currently owned by the John & Denise Feilders Trust. The building has undergone several significant repairs and improvements over the last decades, with the most recent major work involving two water heater replacements in late 2022 and early 2023. Of particular note is a serious incident in April 2011 when a car crashed into the building, causing damage to the center stairwell and stairs, which required rebuilding work completed in 2013. More recently, in 2015, there were concerns about a potentially collapsed concrete wall at the south property line, which was addressed through reconstruction work costing $25,000 and completed by 2017. The building's infrastructure has seen substantial upgrades, including a 200-amp electrical service upgrade completed in 2008, demonstrating attention to maintaining modern safety standards.

The property has experienced some maintenance and compliance issues over the years, though all known violations have been resolved. Historical records show a kitchen removal was completed in 1984, and several other renovation permits have been issued and completed. The most significant structural and safety-related issues have been addressed through appropriate permitting and construction work, as evidenced by the completion of retaining wall reconstruction and staircase repairs. The building's recent maintenance history appears stable, with particular attention paid to essential systems like electrical and water heating infrastructure. While there have been multiple parking-related complaints in the vicinity, these are street-related issues rather than building-specific concerns, and they primarily involve enforcement actions taken by parking authorities.

Risk rating

How 175-177 Seal Rock Dr'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.
