Initial analysis

The two-story multi-family residential building located at 1245-1249 Vicente Street in the Parkside neighborhood is a 4-unit property constructed in 1928, currently owned by Michael & Lisa Jin Moy Lo Rev. The building's history includes one notable permit application from 1986, which proposed remodeling an existing shop into a restaurant with rear storage for a Chinese kitchen, though this permit was ultimately cancelled and never executed. The property has experienced several recent incidents in the vicinity, most notably a curb defect reported in May 2023 that required Department of Public Works attention and was resolved following major road closure and commercial construction work involving new concrete curb installation. In terms of parking-related issues, there were two separate incidents of driveway blocking in 2021, one in June involving a silver Lexus ES330 and another in November involving a silver Toyota Highlander, both of which were addressed by parking enforcement. Additionally, there was a routine street cleaning matter in January 2021 concerning an abandoned Christmas tree, which was resolved through proper pickup by Recology. While these incidents highlight some minor quality of life issues in the building's immediate vicinity, there are no recorded safety violations or serious concerns directly related to the property itself.

Risk rating

How 1245-1249 Vicente 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
36th percentile

Out of 255 buildings in this neighborhood, 163 are predicted to be safer.
