Initial analysis

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 550 Rivera Street in the Inner Parkside neighborhood is a 1928 flats and duplex structure currently owned by the Takakuwa Cheer Revocable Trust. The building's maintenance history shows some significant repairs undertaken in the past, including a reroofing project completed in 1991, termite and dry rot damage repairs in 1987, and more recently, in 2010, work to replace a cracked stair landing and address dry rot at the building's front entry, though this permit has since expired.

The property has recently experienced several infrastructure issues, particularly in late 2024, with concerns about both sidewalk and curb defects. An open sidewalk defect reported in October 2024 mentioned a collapsed sidewalk, while multiple reports in September 2024 documented both curb ramp defects and sewage system issues, including a sewage back-up discharge from a side sewer vent that was ultimately resolved. The building's immediate vicinity has faced recurring parking enforcement challenges, with multiple reports of abandoned vehicles between September and October 2024, though most of these vehicles were gone upon inspection. Additional recent complaints have included issues with driveway blocking and temporary moving signage, indicating ongoing activity and some regulatory requirements in the area.

Risk rating

How 550 Rivera 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
