Initial analysis

The two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 50 Flint Street in Corona Heights, built in 1958 and currently owned by Roderick D. Hill, has undergone several significant maintenance and repair projects over the past decade. Most recently, in April 2024, footings and posts were installed to support the rear balcony/deck, following a 2022 permit for exterior deck repairs on two decks costing $16,000. The building has seen substantial infrastructure improvements, including a complete reroofing in 2014 ($21,200), replacement of water heaters in 2015-2016, and conversion to underground electrical service with five meters in 2005.

Historical records indicate a cluster of building violations in February 2003 related to safety and maintenance issues, including problems with stairs, deck repairs, fire safety equipment, smoke detectors, and security features, though all were resolved by June 2003. More recent concerns include maintenance issues with the building's infrastructure, such as the September 2024 reports of a missing side sewer vent cover and a collapsed sidewalk (though the latter was later determined to have no defect). The property has experienced recurring issues with graffiti, particularly in 2023, and several instances of driveway blocking, though these are external to the building itself. Two fire-related complaints regarding blocked exits were filed and corrected in February 2010. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, with most major systems receiving attention and necessary repairs or replacements over the years.

Risk rating

How 50 Flint 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
