Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1715-1717 Cabrillo Street in the Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by the James S Leong Revocable Trust, was constructed in 1922 as a two-story flats/duplex structure. The property's recent history has been marked by several significant events, most notably a series of non-permitted renovation activities in late 2019 that led to building violations and complaints. These unpermitted modifications included bathroom remodels involving new plumbing, electrical work, and construction, though the issues were eventually addressed through permitted work totaling $20,000 completed in December 2019. In 2020, the building underwent additional improvements with the replacement of front windows at the lower level, visible from the street, with permits filed for this work. Historical maintenance records show plumbing updates including a water heater replacement in 2016, and some older records indicate reroofing work from 1997. The property's maintenance history also includes routine neighborhood issues such as lighting, graffiti, and tree maintenance documented through 311 calls between 2011 and 2015, though these external matters were not directly related to the building's structural or systems maintenance.

Risk rating

How 1715-1717 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.
