Initial analysis

The 10-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 111 Fowler Avenue in Miraloma Park, owned by the Giraudo Trust, was constructed in 1957 and has undergone several significant improvements over the past years. Most notably, the building completed mandatory soft-story seismic retrofits in 2018, though it remains classified as Non-Compliant under Tier 4 regulations. Recent building upgrades include the conversion of office space into an ADU (Unit 200) in 2021-2023, featuring kitchen and bath remodeling, and schematic compliance adjustments in 2023. The property has maintained active compliance with safety regulations through various improvements, including plumbing updates with tankless water heaters and furnace installations in 2022, and electrical rewiring for the new ADU.

The building has experienced recurring fire safety concerns, with multiple violations and complaints between 2017-2023 related to fire extinguishers, blocked exits, and sleeping area requirements. While most of these issues were promptly corrected, some recent violations, including a December 2023 sleeping area requirement issue, remain active. The property has a history of maintaining essential systems, evidenced by regular plumbing updates (including water heater replacements in 2017 and 2022) and electrical system improvements. Historical building permits show various commercial signage installations and general maintenance work, including reroofing in 2014 and multiple sign-related permits from 2005-2018. The property's location has experienced some recent external issues, with multiple Recology garbage and debris reports in January 2025, though these are typically neighborhood-wide concerns rather than building-specific issues.

Risk rating

How 111 Fowler Ave'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
