Initial analysis

The three-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 2426-2430 Cabrillo Street, owned by Michael Chin, was constructed in 1951 and has undergone several significant improvements over recent years. Most notably, a substantial reroofing project costing $35,900 was completed in March 2024, and in 2020, the second-floor unit received comprehensive updates including a kitchen and bathroom remodel ($49,900), new plumbing fixtures including a shower pan, and electrical upgrades with a new subpanel and rewiring. The building has seen other important maintenance work, including window retrofits in 2015, with twelve new windows installed facing the street, and the installation of storage lockers in 2003 to address building inspector requirements.

The property's maintenance history shows regular attention to upkeep, with repairs to exterior wood and stucco in 1999, window replacements in 2001, and various routine inspections. While there have been some issues noted in the building's history, including a construction work complaint in 2003 (which was quickly resolved) and routine housing inspections, these appear to be typical for a building of this age. Recent 311 calls from 2022-2023 primarily relate to parking issues and street maintenance matters rather than building-specific concerns. The property has maintained active compliance with building and safety requirements, with the most recent building work focused on maintaining and improving the structure's overall condition.

Risk rating

How 2426-2430 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.

Neighborhood percentile

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Notices of Violation, owner's portfolio

DBI NOVs across all buildings this owner is registered on — a signal of systemic maintenance issues across the portfolio.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 87.5%
Moderate concern 9.6%
Severe concern 2.9%
