Initial analysis

The property at 586 Castro Street, owned by Susana Olcese, is a two-story, multi-family residential building with commercial space, constructed in 1902 in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood. The building has undergone significant improvements over the past two decades, with major renovations occurring between 2008-2011 to convert ground floor space into professional service/office use. This included substantial interior work, adding new exam rooms, waiting rooms, and ADA-compliant facilities, with associated plumbing and electrical upgrades costing over $275,000 in total. The rear facade was notably modified in 2008-2009 to extend into the rear yard, adding new functionality and outdoor space. Earlier maintenance included reroofing work in 1992 and 2006.

Recent activity (2023-2025) has primarily consisted of routine municipal matters, including multiple reports of abandoned Christmas trees and garbage debris on the street, indicating normal urban maintenance issues. There was one reported chemical hazard incident (with no spill or leak) recorded in the fire incident database, but this did not result in any civilian injuries. The building's permits show regular maintenance and improvements, with no significant safety concerns noted in the available records. The property's planning records indicate a legal conversion of the garage to commercial use with a variance for reduced parking requirements, reflecting appropriate use of zoning and regulatory processes.

Risk rating

How 586 Castro 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.
