AI summary

The two-unit residential building at 4046-4048 Cabrillo Street in San Francisco's Outer Richmond district is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1938 and currently owned by Cabrillo/lesser Associates. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most recent major work being an electrical system upgrade in 2015 that followed a completed EV charger installation from 2013. Prior electrical work in 2011 included a comprehensive upgrade to the garage and common areas, featuring a new 150-amp service installation with sub-panels, lighting, and utility connections. The property has also received important structural attention, including a seismic strengthening project in 2010 that involved upgrading sill plates and sheathing, though records show this permit was filed and may require verification of completion.

The building's maintenance history includes three separate roofing projects: two identical reroofing permits issued in 2011 (costing $7,500) and an earlier reroofing project completed in 1992. Recent building-related incidents primarily involve external issues, with several parking enforcement calls in 2023 regarding sidewalk parking and driveway blocking, though most were resolved without incident. There was one documented sewer issue in February 2023 involving a sewer vent problem that was subsequently resolved. The property has also experienced some exterior maintenance needs, with multiple reports of loose garbage requiring cleaning services in 2021-2022, and a pavement defect issue noted in May 2021 that was addressed by city services.

Risk rating

How 4046-4048 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.
