Initial analysis

This two-unit residential building, located at 2005-2007 San Jose Avenue in Mission Terrace, was constructed in 1910 and is classified as a Flats & Duplex building. The property, currently owned by Tan Huaan & Liang Su Hong, has undergone several significant renovations and faced multiple compliance issues over the years. In 2013, substantial work was completed on the third floor, including the addition of laundry facilities and two new dormers, following a notice of violation for unauthorized construction. The building received a major electrical upgrade in 2006, with a 400-amp service installation and three meters, supporting additional laundry and shop equipment. Earlier improvements included a backyard and hallway concrete pour in 1998, reroofing work in 1997, and comprehensive remodeling of the lower unit's kitchen and bathroom in 1995.

The property has experienced several housing code violations and complaints throughout its history, with the most recent undocumented incident in 2017 regarding unauthorized construction of a large shed or dwelling in the backyard. Multiple complaints about unpermitted construction work were filed between 2000 and 2017, though most have been marked as not active. Recent activity at the property between December 2024 and January 2025 has primarily consisted of parking violations and municipal maintenance issues, with several reports of blocked driveways and garbage concerns, though these are not directly related to building safety or habitability. While there was one fire-related complaint in 2018, it was deemed to have no merit. The property history shows compliance with most building requirements following violations, but the persistence of some unauthorized construction claims suggests ongoing concerns about proper permitting procedures.

Risk rating

How 2005-2007 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.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 149 buildings in this neighborhood, 60 are predicted to be safer.

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 67.5%
Moderate concern 17.9%
Severe concern 14.6%
