Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 4628 Cabrillo Street in San Francisco's Outer Richmond district is a two-story structure built in 1922, currently owned by the Grace Y Li Trust. The property's maintenance history shows a recent significant infrastructure upgrade with the completion of a main sewer line replacement in June 2024, representing proactive maintenance of essential building systems. The building's permit history is relatively sparse, with only two notable permits on record: a street space-related permit from 2019 costing $1, and a substantial vertical addition from 1992 valued at $112,000.

The property and its immediate vicinity have experienced recurring issues with graffiti on municipal infrastructure, particularly affecting poles, with multiple incidents documented between 2017 and 2024. While the majority of these incidents were categorized as "Not Offensive" and were promptly addressed by the SES Graffiti Crew, one incident in September 2020 was marked as "Offensive." Other neighborhood maintenance issues have included an overgrown tree blocking the sidewalk (September 2019) and a couple of parking-related incidents in 2018, including a sidewalk parking violation that resulted in a citation and the temporary presence of an abandoned delivery truck. While these exterior maintenance issues don't directly impact the building's internal conditions, they do suggest that the immediate area experiences typical urban maintenance challenges, primarily related to public infrastructure rather than the residential building itself.

Risk rating

How 4628 Cabrillo 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.
