Initial analysis

The property at 544-546 Cabrillo Street is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood. Constructed in 1910 and currently owned by the Kenneth Lew Revocable Trust, this apartment building has a limited permit and incident history. The most recent significant building-related activity was a street space permit issued in May 2019, which had a minimal cost of $1. Prior to that, the only documented building improvement was the installation of aluminum windows in 1986.

The external environment around the building has experienced several maintenance issues, particularly during 2018, when there were multiple reports of pavement defects, with five incidents documented between June and July. The street and sidewalk areas also required general cleaning in November 2019 to address loose garbage. Other documented incidents include some instances of graffiti on a sign in June 2018 and illegal postings in 2016, both of which were resolved. A tree root issue affecting the sidewalk was reported in 2013, and there was one report of an abandoned vehicle in May 2010, though the vehicle was gone when authorities arrived. While the building itself shows minimal concerns in terms of structure and maintenance, the surrounding street infrastructure has required regular attention, particularly during the 2018 period.

Risk rating

How 544-546 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
33th percentile

Out of 1723 buildings in this neighborhood, 1154 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 62.0%
Moderate concern 18.4%
Severe concern 19.6%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
