Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 229 Dore Street, located in San Francisco's South of Market neighborhood, is a two-story flats and duplex structure dating back to 1908, currently owned by Fred S. and Azucena S. Calmerin. The property's recent history shows recurring issues with street maintenance and public spaces, particularly in 2023 when multiple reports were filed regarding loose garbage requiring general cleaning (on August 26) and an encampment cleanup (on May 9). The area has experienced ongoing challenges with encampments, with four documented cases between 2020 and 2024, including the most recent one in September 2024 which was resolved with advice and a Department of Public Works request. Infrastructure concerns have been addressed, such as a pavement defect reported in December 2022 that was resolved, and there was one noise complaint in August 2020 that was deemed invalid, with instructions provided for addressing ongoing issues through non-emergency police channels. The building's service requests appear to be primarily related to external conditions rather than internal building issues, with no recorded complaints about the building's structural or safety systems.

Risk rating

How 229 Dore 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

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.
