Initial analysis

The property at 226 Cabrillo Street in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood is a three-story, two-unit residential building constructed in 2013 after the demolition of a single-family dwelling in December 2009. The building's construction process faced an incident in August 2012 when unsafe scaffolding was reported and work was temporarily halted, though this violation was abated by November 2012. Since its completion, the building has undergone several significant modifications, most notably in 2022-2024, when elevator installation projects were initiated, with the most recent permit filed in January 2024 for a two-stop interior elevator installation. The building's systems were properly installed during initial construction, including plumbing (two furnaces) and electrical work (extensive lighting and appliance installations), and all permits related to the initial construction were eventually marked as complete.

Recent activity at the property has primarily involved maintenance and parking enforcement issues, with multiple incidents of vehicles blocking driveways recorded between September 2023 and June 2024, resulting in citations. A minor incident of graffiti was reported and resolved in February 2024, and there were two reports of vandalized trees in January 2023 that were subsequently addressed. The building's most recent safety incident occurred in 2023 with a carbon monoxide detector activation that turned out to have no CO present. All major construction and remodeling work has been properly permitted and appears to have been completed according to regulations, with the most recent significant modification being the ongoing elevator installation project.

Risk rating

How 226 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

Out of 1723 buildings in this neighborhood, 0 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.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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

Building age

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

Construction type: wood frame

Wood-frame construction (type D) is the most common SF residential type and has specific maintenance risks.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 93.6%
Moderate concern 5.0%
Severe concern 1.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
