Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 475 Douglass Street, located in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood, is a well-maintained two-story structure built in 1912. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past few decades, with the most recent major work including a ground floor rear addition completed in 2014 that added a bedroom, bathroom, and roof deck, costing approximately $130,000. In 2016, the building received an upgrade to its exterior with the replacement of 10 wood windows, and more recently, in 2015, comprehensive electrical work was completed including wiring for laundry, bathroom, and bedroom areas, along with garage rewiring and panel installation. The building's systems have also been regularly maintained, with records showing a new furnace installation in 2007, sewer repair in 2008, and various plumbing improvements including a shower pan installation and bathroom addition in 2015.

The property has maintained a relatively clean compliance record, with only one building complaint filed in October 2015 regarding an inspection requirement, though this case is currently not active. While there have been several 311 calls regarding parking enforcement and street cleaning in the vicinity of the building between 2019 and 2024, these issues appear to be related to the public street and not the building itself. A sewage backup incident was reported in February 2019, which was promptly addressed and resolved. The maintenance history shows regular upkeep of the building's infrastructure, with past improvements including roofing work in 1989 and 2005, kitchen renovations in 1997, and bathroom remodeling in 2001, indicating ongoing investment in the property's maintenance and upgrades over time.

Risk rating

How 475 Douglass 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.
