Initial analysis

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 47-49 Elgin Park in the Mission Dolores neighborhood, owned by the Karcich Family Trust, has a documented history of maintenance and safety issues, with the most concerning recent incident being a blocked exits fire safety violation in April 2022 that was corrected within ten days. The building, constructed in 1907, experienced significant documented problems in 2008, including a water leak through a bathroom ceiling, multiple interior surface violations related to lead paint hazards, security concerns including the need for primary locking devices at exterior doors, and problems with egress obstruction. In 2003, the property had issues with rear stairs requiring repairs and peeling paint on the rear of the structure, which were addressed by the replacement of stair treads and railings. Two roofing permits from 2002 valued at $3,400 each are on record, though these permits expired.

The property is currently experiencing ongoing external maintenance issues as evidenced by multiple recent 311 calls in late 2024, with repeat reports of garbage, debris, and yard waste on the property, though these external issues were primarily street and sidewalk-related rather than building-specific. Between November 2024 and December 2024, there have been at least eight reports of garbage and debris issues, with some cases being resolved and others showing no work needed. The building's documented history suggests periodic attention to maintenance issues, though there were multiple violations noted in both 2003 and 2008 that indicate previous concerns about prompt response to maintenance needs. While some recent 311 calls suggest ongoing external maintenance challenges, these appear to be primarily related to street cleaning rather than building-specific issues.

Risk rating

How 47-49 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.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 799 buildings in this neighborhood, 535 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 (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

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.

Moderate concern 16.2%
Severe concern 44.0%
