Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 781-783 Arguello Blvd in the Inner Richmond, owned by Alexander Nisenzon, is a 1905 two-story flats and duplex structure with a notable history of maintenance and compliance issues. Most recently, in 2024, there have been multiple sewage-related incidents, including a back-up event in February and a catch basin discharge in December, along with various sidewalk parking violations and street cleaning matters that may affect resident convenience. The building underwent significant interior work in late 2009, including bathroom remodeling and ceiling replacement following a Notice of Violation, though this period also saw complaints about unpermitted concrete drilling and floor demolition. Earlier issues included unauthorized roofing work in 2015 and concerns about an illegal unit with commercial food preparation in 2014, which was officially closed as a commercial food prep violation. The property also had maintenance work performed in the past, including termite repairs in 1997 and window trim repairs in 1988, and more recent exterior maintenance is evidenced by their handling of various city service requests. While historical permit records show some attention to interior updates, the frequency and nature of recent complaints suggest ongoing challenges with building systems and compliance matters.

Risk rating

How 781-783 Arguello Blvd'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.
