Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1729 Cabrillo Street in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1938, currently owned by Robert T. Hui. The property's documented history reveals several parking-related incidents over the past decade, with two recent violations in 2024 involving sidewalk parking, both of which resulted in citations. These incidents follow a pattern of parking enforcement issues in the vicinity, including a bicycle lane blocking incident in 2019 and a defaced sign requiring attention in 2014. The building's location also experienced an abandoned vehicle situation in 2012, though the vehicle was no longer present when officers arrived for investigation.

A significant event of note occurred in early 2021 when there was a tenant buyout at the adjacent address (1721 Cabrillo Street), involving three tenants and a payment of $60,000. While this buyout occurred at a neighboring property, it may be relevant to the building's context in terms of local housing dynamics. The property's maintenance and safety record appears largely unremarkable beyond the mentioned parking issues, with no recorded violations related to the building's structural or residential systems during the available data period through October 2023.

Risk rating

How 1729 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 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 608 are predicted to be safer.
