Initial analysis

The two-story, multi-family residential building at 846 Castro Street, owned by Cynthia Ireland Grantor Tru, was constructed in 1941 and contains two units. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades, with the most substantial work occurring between 2000-2001, including interior remodeling of the kitchen and bathroom, roof structure alterations, deck replacement at the second level, and window-to-door conversion work. More recent upgrades include a 200-amp electrical service upgrade in 2017, plumbing modifications in 2018, and several permit finalizations in 2015 related to previously completed work.

The building's maintenance history shows consistent attention to safety and infrastructure, with recent concerns primarily focused on exterior areas. In 2022, there was a notable incident with a collapsed sidewalk that was resolved, along with intermittent street cleaning and loose garbage issues throughout 2020-2022. Earlier infrastructure work included a 2013 street space permit and various plumbing and electrical improvements. The property has experienced typical urban maintenance challenges, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls regarding street cleaning and sidewalk conditions, though all reported issues have been resolved. While the building has experienced periodic plumbing and electrical work, including a significant sewer line relocation and fixture replacements in 2018, these improvements were properly documented with permits and completed inspections.

Risk rating

How 846 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.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 86.1%
Moderate concern 9.8%
Severe concern 4.2%
