Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 225-227 Dore Street in San Francisco's South of Market neighborhood is a two-story flats/duplex structure built in 1907 and currently owned by the Pena Carmen Rev Interv Trust. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and safety updates over the years, with particular attention to the roof system, having experienced three separate reroofing projects between 2006 and 2008, with costs ranging from $8,000 to $9,800. In 1991, the building received a new electrical service installation, and in May 2008, there was a precautionary electrical inspection required following a neighboring property's fire, though no damage was reported to this building. Recent records indicate a fire alarm system issue in March 2023 that was promptly corrected within two weeks.

The property has had various municipal interactions over recent years, with service requests and complaints primarily relating to external issues rather than building conditions. These include multiple street cleaning and waste removal cases (most recently in December 2024), parking-related complaints, blocked parking spaces, and instances of graffiti (2020-2022). The building's parking and street access has experienced occasional disruptions from construction equipment and damaged parking meters, though these were resolved promptly. Two significant construction-related permits from the 1980s are on record, including a general building use permit from 1982. The property's maintenance record shows regular attention to essential systems, particularly electrical and roofing infrastructure, through the various permit activities.

Risk rating

How 225-227 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.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 430 buildings in this neighborhood, 129 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.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 71.6%
Moderate concern 16.6%
Severe concern 11.8%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
