Initial analysis

The property at 820-822 Cabrillo Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood. Built in 1910 and classified as a flats/duplex building, it is currently owned by Wendy Wu Chen. The building's maintenance record shows several significant events, with the most substantial being a compliance issue in 2010 that resulted in multiple violations, including the absence of smoke detectors, a malfunctioning range hood, a missing furnace service access cover, and unauthorized window replacements. These issues were addressed through a building permit (201011044333) that included the installation of battery-operated smoke alarms, repair of the wall furnace and range hood, and replacement of three street-side windows, all of which were completed by November 2010.

More recent improvements include plumbing work in 2021 involving the removal and replacement of the house trap and main waste line. The property has also experienced various maintenance issues in the surrounding area, including multiple reports of sidewalk defects and tree damage in 2022, though these were not directly related to the building's condition. There were also several complaints about parking issues near the property in early 2021. The building has undergone several other minor modifications over the years, including a garage floor remodeling project and a house number change, but no significant violations or complaints have been recorded since 2010. The most recent complaints in 311 calls have primarily concerned street and sidewalk maintenance rather than building-specific issues, suggesting that major interior and structural systems have remained stable since the 2010 compliance resolution.

Risk rating

How 820-822 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.
