Initial analysis

The two-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 831 Cabrillo Street in San Francisco's Inner Richmond district, owned by the Blossom Gong Trust, has experienced several significant maintenance and infrastructure events since its construction in 1913. The most substantial recent improvement occurred in 2015, when the front facade underwent a complete stucco replacement project costing $18,000 to maintain the building's original design and materials. Essential infrastructure work was performed in 2011, including the replacement of the sewer line from the curb to the building and street space/sidewalk repairs. The building's roofing system was addressed in 1995, though this permit is now expired, and a separate plumbing permit was issued in 2011 for related work. Historical records from 1982 and 1995 show additional permitted work, though specific details are not available.

Recent activity around the property includes multiple 311 calls, primarily related to street-related issues rather than building-specific concerns. In 2024, there have been two reported encampments near the property, with one still open as of September 2024. Parking enforcement issues have been recorded in 2015 and 2019 for driveway blocking incidents involving different vehicles, both of which were resolved. The only building-specific issue noted was a non-offensive graffiti incident in 2015, which was promptly addressed by the Department of Public Works. While the building's essential infrastructure appears to have received necessary attention over the years, the surrounding area's recent encampment issues and parking challenges may be of interest to prospective residents.

Risk rating

How 831 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
