Initial analysis

The property at 125-127 Julian Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Mission is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1907, currently owned by David Mazieres and Tom Kather. The building has undergone significant renovations and improvements over the past several years, with the most recent substantial work including the installation of new skylights, rear exterior storage, and legalization of ten aluminum-clad wood windows on the front facade (June 2024 - estimated cost $12,000), following a previous 2018-2019 renovation phase that included major updates to both units, installation of a new basement garage, and replacement of windows and doors. The property has also seen substantial systems upgrades, including the installation of two 5-zone ductless mini-split heat pump systems in 2023, house trap replacement in 2021, and various plumbing improvements between 2018-2024.

Of particular note is an active building violation filed in May 2020 regarding unpermitted window replacements at the front of the building in April 2019, which appears to be connected to the previously discussed permit issues. The building has experienced several construction-related complaints in 2018-2019, including concerns about work outside permitted scope and its impact on neighboring properties, though these complaints have since been resolved. More recently, there have been multiple street cleaning and sanitation-related service requests in the vicinity of the property between 2023-2025, though these appear to be standard municipal issues rather than building-specific concerns. The property's renovation history shows regular maintenance and upgrading of systems and finishes, with proper permits obtained for most work, though the active violation regarding window replacements indicates there may be some unresolved permit compliance issues.

Risk rating

How 125-127 Julian 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.
