Initial analysis

The 30-unit multi-family residential building at 300-320 Valencia Street, owned by Stefan Giustino 1998 Revocable Trust, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring problems with the hot water system, with the most recent complaint filed in September 2024 reporting multiple hot water outages. The building has also faced persistent security concerns, including problematic exterior doors, mailbox security issues that affected mail delivery in 2023, and a recently reported smoking pipe issue from August 2023. The property has a non-compliant status in the City's Soft Story program (tier 4) and has received multiple fire safety violations, including an open violation regarding sleeping area requirements from December 2023 and historical issues with the sprinkler system, alarm system, and fire extinguisher maintenance.

The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of reactive rather than proactive repairs, with multiple permits for final inspections and various system upgrades. Recent improvements include a 2021 replacement of shiplap siding on the south and west elevations and several plumbing upgrades between 2016-2021. The property has undergone multiple permit renewals and revisions, indicating ongoing construction and maintenance work. A significant portion of the complaints and violations relate to building systems such as plumbing, electrical, and fire safety equipment, with many issues being temporarily resolved rather than permanently fixed. The building's recent history suggests continued challenges with basic maintenance and system reliability, particularly regarding water supply and security features.

Risk rating

How 300-320 Valencia 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.
