Initial analysis

The property at 219-223 Dore Street is a two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1906, containing three units and owned by Delia Joa & Jen Ming Chang. The building has undergone several significant renovations and repairs over the years, with the most substantial work completed between 2008-2009, including comprehensive plumbing and electrical updates, the installation of new furnaces and water heaters for all units, and extensive second-floor remodeling costing over $36,000. In 2011, structural safety concerns were addressed through the installation of proper structural connectors at exterior exit stairs. The building experienced multiple housing code violations in 2003 and 2011, which were all resolved by October 30, 2003, including issues with guardrails, fire safety requirements, and egress obstructions. A more recent health and safety inspection was conducted in August 2011, though no lasting violations were indicated.

The property has maintained active upkeep, with the most recent significant maintenance being roofing work completed in 2009. Recent municipal service activity around the building, as documented through 311 calls between 2021-2024, has primarily involved routine street cleaning, sidewalk maintenance, and parking enforcement issues in the vicinity, rather than building-specific concerns. A notable area of ongoing attention is indicated by a 2023 report of lifted tree roots affecting the sidewalk, which remains open. The building's documented history shows regular maintenance and prompt resolution of code violations, with no serious safety concerns reported in recent years.

Risk rating

How 219-223 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, 202 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 50.5%
Moderate concern 29.4%
Severe concern 20.1%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
