Initial analysis

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 1911 San Jose Avenue in Mission Terrace, owned by the Ho Family Trust, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1922. Most recently, in 2024, the property received a new roof ($10,000) and underwent substantial driveway work ($22,000) to improve permeability and landscaping. A notable legalization process occurred between 2006 and 2014, during which an in-law unit was formalized following the removal of an illegal kitchen in 2006, with subsequent improvements including kitchen remodels and electrical upgrades completed in 2015. The building's maintenance record shows consistent attention to infrastructure, including recent plumbing work in 2023 for the replacement of sidewalk sewer pipes and house traps.

The property has experienced some parking-related challenges in its vicinity, particularly during late 2024, with multiple complaints to MTA Parking Enforcement regarding illegal parking, blocked driveways, and parking violations, though many of these cases resulted in officers being unable to locate the offending vehicles. The building's illegal unit complaint from 2006 was resolved within six months, and no active building complaints are currently on file. The Ho Family Trust has demonstrated regular investment in property maintenance and compliance with city regulations, as evidenced by the recent approvals for landscaping and permeability improvements, and the successful legalization of additional dwelling units under local ordinances.

Risk rating

How 1911 San Jose 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.
