Initial analysis

The three-unit, two-story apartment building at 530 Point Lobos Ave in the Outer Richmond, owned by Cynthia Fern Yee Revocable Trust, was constructed in 1969 and has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past several decades. Most recently, in October 2023, there was a complaint regarding peeling paint and falling shingles, which follows a similar roof maintenance issue reported in January 2021 about shingle problems on the south and east faces of the building. The building has a documented history of fire safety improvements, including the installation of fire sprinklers and a fire-rated wall in 1999, though there was a period of fire violations in 2002 relating to smoke detectors and other fire safety concerns. In 2015, there was an unauthorized construction complaint regarding vegetation clearing, excavation work, and retaining walls in the rear yard. Earlier issues include a 1998 complaint about electrical safety concerns in the stove wiring and lobby door functionality, as well as a possible illegal basement unit investigation in 2005. The property has undergone several permitted improvements, including a fence replacement in 2015 and vinyl siding installation in 2003.

The building's maintenance record shows recurring issues with exterior maintenance and safety compliance, particularly in terms of roof upkeep and fire safety systems. While many historical complaints have been marked as "Not Active," the recent 2023 complaint about paint and shingle conditions suggests that building maintenance continues to be a relevant concern. The property's permit history indicates that some regular maintenance and improvements have been undertaken, though the age of many building components may contribute to ongoing maintenance challenges.

Risk rating

How 530 Point Lobos Ave'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.
