Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 4038-4040 Cabrillo Street in San Francisco's Outer Richmond neighborhood is a 1938 flats/duplex property owned by Bennett Graham. The building's maintenance record shows significant plumbing work in 2022, specifically a completed sewer replacement project. The property has experienced recurring issues with parking violations near the building, particularly during 2021-2022, including multiple incidents of sidewalk parking and driveway blocking, resulting in at least three citations being issued, though some incidents ended with officers unable to locate the offending vehicles. Tree maintenance has been another concern, with two separate pruning requests logged in 2022, indicating potential issues with overgrown trees.

The building has faced several infrastructure challenges in recent years, including two documented sewage backup incidents in June 2021 which required attention from the PUC Sewer Operations. A tenant buyout occurred in November 2016 at 4038 Cabrillo Street, involving two tenants and totaling $35,000. Safety incidents recorded include two fire-related events: a CO detector activation due to malfunction and a public service assistance call, neither of which resulted in civilian injuries. The property's maintenance and incident record suggests ongoing attention has been required for both infrastructure (sewer systems) and exterior maintenance (trees and parking issues), with the most recent significant building work being the 2022 sewer replacement project.

Risk rating

How 4038-4040 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.
