Initial analysis

The three-story residential building at 87-89 Ramona Avenue in the Mission Dolores neighborhood is a two-unit flats and duplex structure built in 1911, currently owned by the Alison E Monahan Revocable Trust. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade, with the most substantial being a complete roof replacement in 2017 using new bitumen membrane materials ($9,000), and the installation of modern HVAC systems in 2012 including mini-split units on the roof with associated electrical and plumbing work ($1,242 for insulation and $9000 for roof work). Additional energy efficiency upgrades were completed in 2012 with insulation improvements, including R13 cellulose and R19 fiberglass installations in walls and garage ceilings.

The building's maintenance and environmental impacts have been more recently documented through multiple 311 calls in 2024, primarily relating to street cleaning and garbage debris issues, with eight reports between August and December 2024, some specifically mentioning human waste or urine on the street. While these external sanitation issues were addressed and marked as "Resolved" or "Closed Case," they represent the most significant recent concerns associated with the property. An open tree maintenance request from September 2024 remains pending with the PW - Urban Forestry department, though this relates to city landscaping rather than the building itself. A street space permit was issued in March 2019 for the property, though the minimal cost suggests it was likely for routine maintenance purposes.

Risk rating

How 87-89 Ramona Ave'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
98th percentile

Out of 799 buildings in this neighborhood, 16 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.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 84.5%
Moderate concern 8.8%
Severe concern 6.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
