Initial analysis

The building at 1544-1546 Cabrillo St in the Central Richmond neighborhood, currently owned by the Funai Family Trust, is a two-story multi-family residential structure built in 1925, classified as a Flats & Duplex with two units. The property has a significant history of building code violations and unpermitted modifications dating back to 2006, when inspectors discovered unauthorized additions including kitchens and bathrooms, leading to multiple Notices of Violation and abatement proceedings. These violations remain listed as active, despite some attempts at resolution through permits, including a canceled 2006 permit application to remove illegal installations and a 2011 permit to remove kitchen equipment and legalize half baths and storage rooms on the ground floor. The building's electrical systems underwent minor work in 2005, including grounding wire installation and light/switch modifications.

The property has experienced recurring issues with unauthorized unit modifications, with inspections revealing four dwelling units (1544, 1544A, 1546, and 1546A) instead of the legally permitted two units. Recent municipal service requests show typical urban maintenance issues, including a 2023 parking violation and earlier service calls for sewer backups in 2014-2015, graffiti, tree damage, and sidewalk cleaning. The building's most pressing concerns remain the active building code violations and unauthorized unit modifications, which were formally noted in a planning record as exceeding the property's approved use. While there have been various maintenance and compliance attempts over the years, these fundamental zoning and permit issues appear unresolved as of the latest available data.

Risk rating

How 1544-1546 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.
