Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 4327 20th Street, located in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood, is a two-story flats & duplex structure built in 1907. The property, currently owned by the Granich Eileen G Revoc Liv, has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, including comprehensive remodeling of kitchens and bathrooms in both units in 2024 (costing $110,000), a complete reroofing project in 2023 ($20,000), and a substantial sewer lateral replacement (100 feet from house to curb) in 2021. However, these renovations have not been without controversy; multiple complaints were filed in 2023 regarding construction-related issues, including improper parking by construction vehicles, unpermitted scaffolding, and environmental concerns, though these complaints were subsequently closed. A concerning complaint filed in May 2024 alleged unsafe electrical work, unauthorized plumbing installations, and improper gas line work, though this complaint's status remains not active as of the report date.

The building has a documented history of parking enforcement issues, with multiple reports of sidewalk parking in 2023 and 2024, and one abandoned vehicle complaint in 2020. The recent extensive renovations, while significantly updating the property, have generated a mixed record of compliance and safety concerns. The property has undergone substantial infrastructure improvements, including the installation of new electrical systems and plumbing fixtures, though some permit issues have been raised through complaints. It's worth noting that all recent major improvements (kitchen and bathroom remodels, roofing work, and plumbing updates) have been conducted under appropriate permits, with the building officially classified as Multi-Family Residential.

Risk rating

How 4327 20Th 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

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 690 are predicted to be safer.
