Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1520-1522 Cabrillo Street in the Central Richmond neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1923, currently owned by the Suzan Yee Living Trust. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past few decades, with the most recent major work occurring in 2020 when multiple window replacements were undertaken. This included the installation of six street-visible wood double-hung windows and one non-street visible Fibrex window, with an associated cost of $15,000. Prior to this, in March 2020, there was a permit filed for the replacement of four metal windows with vinyl windows, measuring 30"x60". The building's maintenance history shows attention to basic infrastructure, including reroofing completed in 1991, kitchen remodeling in 1990, and various interior improvements in 1995 such as cabinet updates and the addition of a new closet and rear entrance.

The property's maintenance record shows regular upkeep over the years, with recent activity limited to routine service requests rather than structural issues or safety concerns. In 2023, there was a general service request recorded through 311, though the specific nature of the request was not detailed in the available data. Street maintenance issues have been noted in the area, with two pavement defect reports recorded in 2011 and 2014, though these were municipal infrastructure matters rather than building-specific concerns. The building's most recent window installation appears to have met code requirements, though there was a note indicating some visible Fibrex windows were not installed as planned, with a reference to a neighboring building's window configuration.

Risk rating

How 1520-1522 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.
