Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 24 Sycamore Street in the Inner Mission, owned by the Yee Philip C Revocable Trust, has undergone several significant maintenance and safety events since its construction in 1923. Most notably, the building has seen two roof replacements: one completed in May 2023 at a cost of $12,800, and another from 1997 which has since expired. Recent improvements include the installation of new gas lines in February 2024, servicing the laundry room, two ranges, and two wall heaters. The property has experienced multiple fire-related incidents, though fortunately none resulted in civilian injuries; these include several unintentional alarm activations, confined cooking fires, and one confirmed building fire in 2023 attributed to unintentional causes.

The building's vicinity has faced considerable challenges with street cleanliness and parking enforcement in recent months, particularly between November 2024 and January 2025, with multiple reports of garbage, debris, and human waste requiring municipal attention. There were also several parking-related complaints, including reports of blocked driveways and construction equipment occupying spaces. While these external issues don’t directly impact the building's internal safety systems, they point to some ongoing challenges in the immediate neighborhood. The property has maintained a consistent housing structure as a two-story flats/duplex building, with no record of unit modifications or changes in occupancy type since its original construction.

Risk rating

How 24 Sycamore 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.

Neighborhood percentile

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.

Neighborhood location

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

Building age

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 80.2%
Moderate concern 13.7%
Severe concern 6.1%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
