Initial analysis

The property at 451-453 Cabrillo Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood. Built in 1911, this flats and duplex-style building has undergone significant recent improvements, most notably a comprehensive renovation in 2024 costing $18,000 that included drywall installation in the garage and laundry areas, as well as the proper installation of exhaust duct pipes for both units' dryer units. The building received extensive modernization work in 2022, including kitchen and bathroom remodeling in both units ($60,000), electrical system upgrades (replacement of 200-amp main service and installation of new subpanels), and plumbing improvements such as fixture replacements and a shower pan installation. Historical records indicate necessary maintenance work, including stairs rehabilitation in 2001 and termite repairs in 2000, though the building faced a code violation regarding an unauthorized in-law apartment in 1999 that was not officially abated until May 2024.

The property has experienced several maintenance and code compliance improvements over the years, with particular attention to safety and modernization. Recent electrical work in 2024 included comprehensive testing of circuits, installation of new lighting in common areas, and updates to kitchen and bathroom exhaust systems. Plumbing upgrades in 2024 focused on laundry facilities, including the installation of accessible shut-off valves and replacement of exterior sewer pipes. The building has an active record of addressing safety concerns, as evidenced by multiple smoke detector installations and electrical system upgrades. The property experienced numerous parking enforcement issues in 2024, with multiple reports of driveway blocking incidents, and there was one complaint about garbage and debris in September 2024. Notably, there was a tenant buyout reported in June 2022 for $125,000 involving two tenants at 453 Cabrillo Street, suggesting significant tenancy changes occurred around that time.

Risk rating

How 451-453 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 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.
