Initial analysis

This two-unit residential building, located at 1219 Arguello Boulevard in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood, is a century-old flats and duplex structure built in 1912. The property, currently owned by the John E Newlin Revocable Trust, has maintained a relatively low profile in terms of reported incidents and service calls over the past decade. The only recorded 311 call associated with this address was in March 2015 regarding an abandoned SUV (a gray Subaru 4 Runner with license plate 50GZ599) that was reported to the Department of Parking and Traffic. This particular incident was resolved when the vehicle was found to be gone upon inspection on March 30, 2015, and appears to have had no direct impact on the building's residents or condition. The building's documented history shows no significant safety concerns or resident complaints, suggesting stable conditions over this period.

Risk rating

How 1219 Arguello Blvd'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.
