Initial analysis

The two-story multi-family residential building at 4425 Cabrillo Street in the Outer Richmond neighborhood, managed by New Century Management Lfc, was constructed in 1925 and contains 4 units. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade, including the installation of 1400 sq ft of vinyl siding in 2018 ($17,184), a kitchen remodel in Apartment 1 in 2016 ($12,000), window replacements with Fibrex windows in 2014, and various electrical upgrades including the addition of receptacles and lighting in 2014. Historical records show major violations in 2003 related to ventilation, security, and fire safety, which were resolved within a few months. More recent issues have included concerns about garbage accumulation in 2020, with complaints regarding debris blocking easements and attracting vermin, though these cases were marked as not active. The property has also faced multiple parking-related enforcement actions on nearby streets between 2021-2023, suggesting ongoing concerns with vehicles blocking access routes, though these are external to the building itself.

The building has undergone various maintenance and improvement projects over the years, including plumbing repairs (e.g., kitchen sink venting in 2007) and safety upgrades, such as the installation of a garage door operator in 2003. Several recent 311 calls (2022-2023) have been logged regarding loose garbage and cleaning needs around the property's perimeter, indicating ongoing external maintenance challenges. While the building experienced significant violations in 2003, records show that these issues were addressed relatively quickly, and there have been no major building code violations reported since then. The property's maintenance history shows a pattern of regular improvements and repairs, though recent years have seen recurring issues with waste management in the surrounding areas.

Risk rating

How 4425 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.
