Initial analysis

The property at 529-533 Valencia Street is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1924 in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood. The building has experienced several significant events over its history, with the most recent being multiple fire code violations documented in July 2022, including a noted problem with shared spaces, though these were subsequently closed. In 2022, a general unsafe buildings violation was issued for 527 Valencia Street, though this was rescinded. The property has undergone various improvements and repairs, including a reroofing project in 1995, window replacements in 1990, and a housetrap repair in 2009. A notable housing complaint from 1994 documented multiple resident concerns including an inoperable stove, bathroom mold, security issues with the rear door, and inadequate heat sources, though these issues were eventually abated by 1995.

The building's recent history, particularly in 2024, shows ongoing maintenance challenges in the vicinity, with multiple reports of graffiti, street cleaning issues, and a currently open encampment report from February 2024. There have been three documented false fire alarms at the property due to either malicious activity or system malfunctions, with no civilian injuries reported in any of these incidents. The property has also seen regular maintenance activities, including the installation of handicap toilets and bar equipment in 1984, and efforts to comply with various notices of violation in the early 1990s. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to external issues such as graffiti removal and street cleaning, rather than internal building concerns.

Risk rating

How 529-533 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.
