Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 63-65 Kissling St in San Francisco's South of Market neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1907, currently owned by Jose Guerrero. Most notably, the property underwent significant stair-related maintenance in 2020, with the replacement of back steps and front steps following a building code complaint regarding deteriorating conditions. The work, which was initially the subject of complaints about unpermitted construction and safety concerns in June 2020, was appropriately permitted and completed at a cost of $15,500 and $500 respectively. The building's maintenance history shows attention to structural elements, including a window replacement project in 2010 involving two wood double-hung windows, though earlier permits from 1989, 1984, and 1983 for deck repairs, plaster removal, and antenna installation are listed as expired.

The surrounding area has experienced various municipal service issues over the years, with the most recent incident in November 2021 involving reports of waste on the street requiring Department of Public Works attention. Previous incidents include a medical waste report in April 2019, a streetlight outage in 2016, and several other street cleaning matters. While these external issues reflect challenges in the neighborhood, they are not directly related to the building's condition or management. The property's most recent major structural work was properly permitted and completed, following initial complaints about unpermitted work, suggesting improved responsiveness to building code requirements.

Risk rating

How 63-65 Kissling St'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
