Initial analysis

The 2015 Cabrillo Street property is a three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1927, currently owned by Woo Revocable Trust. The building underwent significant safety improvements in recent years, completing a mandatory Tier 3 soft-story retrofit in 2018 that included the addition of a shearwall with footing, demonstrating compliance with San Francisco's seismic safety requirements. The property has a documented history of fire safety concerns, particularly highlighted during a routine inspection in 2004 that revealed multiple violations including issues with fire escape ladders, combustible storage, sprinkler requirements, fire extinguisher maintenance, and exterior door security. However, all these violations were officially abated within two months of being cited.

In recent years, the property has experienced recurring issues with street cleanliness and debris, with multiple reports of garbage, furniture, and other waste on or around the property between 2021 and 2024, though all reported cases were resolved. There have been occasional concerns about parking violations near the property, including instances of sidewalk obstruction and driveway blocking, which were addressed by parking enforcement. A fire complaint was filed in February 2021 but was determined to have no merit. The building's recent history shows regular maintenance of major safety systems, as evidenced by the successful completion of the soft-story retrofit program, while also highlighting ongoing challenges with external property maintenance as evidenced by multiple 311 calls regarding debris and refuse removal.

Risk rating

How 2015 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
