Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 609-611 Taraval Street in the Inner Parkside neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1945, currently under the ownership of the Stella Lim Trust. The building's maintenance history shows several significant repairs and improvements, including window and door replacements in 2002 (upgrading from aluminum to vinyl), multiple attempts to address stucco dry rot in 2001 (with one permit ultimately being completed), and a reroofing project from 1997 (though this permit expired). More recently, the property has been experiencing some ongoing issues, with the most recent activity including an open excessive noise complaint and a damaged tree report from November 2024, both of which remain unresolved. The building has also faced multiple parking enforcement issues in late 2024, with two illegal parking complaints in October and a driveway blocking incident in May 2023, though one case was resolved with no violation found. The surrounding area has seen several street maintenance incidents, including three general cleaning cases regarding loose garbage and one instance of reported medical waste (needles) in September 2022, none of which directly implicate the building itself but reflect neighborhood conditions.

Risk rating

How 609-611 Taraval 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.
