Initial analysis

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 837 Santiago Street in the Parkside neighborhood, owned by the Evenson Florence K Revoc Trust, was constructed in 1945 and is classified as a Flats & Duplex structure with two stories. The property has a limited permit history, with three street space-related permits issued in 2008, 2010, and 2015, each with a minimal cost of $1.00, indicating routine street maintenance rather than significant building work.

Recently, the building's primary issue appears to be recurring problems with driveway access, particularly between June 2023 and March 2024, during which there were multiple reports of driveway blocking incidents involving various vehicles, including Hondas, a Tesla, a VW, and others. Some of these incidents resulted in citations being issued, while others could not be validated or resulted in the responding officer being unable to locate the offending vehicle. The property was also subject to one complaint about waste receptacles (toters) being left out continuously in April 2024, though this was subsequently resolved. Other recent service requests in the vicinity included a burnt-out streetlight reported in October 2024 and a parking enforcement call in August 2024, neither of which directly related to the property's condition or maintenance. The building's permit and complaint history suggests that while there are some recurring issues with parking enforcement in the area, there are no significant safety or maintenance concerns directly related to the building structure itself.

Risk rating

How 837 Santiago 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

Out of 255 buildings in this neighborhood, 13 are predicted to be safer.
