Initial analysis

Located in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood, 85-87 Woodward Street is a 3-story, 6-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1908 and currently owned by Amir Rezvan Zarnaghi. The building recently underwent several significant maintenance and safety improvements, including a completed soft-story retrofit in 2019 (with revisions in 2021) that cost approximately $92,000, and upgraded electrical systems in 2018 with a new 200A service and six subpanels. Other improvements include a furnace installation in 2022, gas line repairs in 2016, and ongoing maintenance work following a termite inspection in late 2024.

The property has experienced various maintenance issues over the years, with the most recent active violations filed in October 2024 including concerns about garbage receptacle placement, structural maintenance compliance, floor covering conditions, and egress obstructions. A rat infestation in the common area was reported in September 2024, and there appears to be an active heating system issue in Unit 87A (although this violation was marked as "Not Active" in November 2024). Historical violations from 2004 included problems with stairs, paint conditions, and lead hazard warnings, which were abated in early 2005. The building's exterior areas have faced ongoing maintenance challenges, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls regarding street cleaning and garbage issues near the property, with the most recent calls in early 2025 regarding waste matters.

Risk rating

How 85-87 Woodward 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.
