Initial analysis

The three-unit apartment building at 87 Elgin Park, owned by Michael S Goldstein, is a three-story multi-family residential structure built in 1906 located in the Mission Dolores neighborhood. The building has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, with the most recent being reroofing work completed in October 2023 costing $18,000, and previously completed window replacements in 2020 (three front-facing windows) and 2019 (two non-street-facing windows in Unit B). A substantial kitchen remodel was performed in 2019, which included plumbing and electrical upgrades, specifically upgrading to a 125-amp main panel.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to basic infrastructure, including multiple window replacements and roofing work in 2017. Notably, the building experienced fire incidents in 1992, which required repair work, and had some building violations related to fire safety systems and extinguisher maintenance in 2003 and 2009, though these were all properly abated. There were also routine safety inspections in 2003 and 2009 that brought various maintenance issues to light, including concerns about wood stairs and smoke enclosure door closers. More recently, there have been multiple reports of parking violations in the vicinity between 2019-2022, particularly regarding vehicles blocking sidewalks, suggesting ongoing challenges with street parking in the area. The building's current condition appears stable, with recent maintenance focusing on essential systems and compliance with safety standards.

Risk rating

How 87 Elgin Park'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.
