Initial analysis

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 656-658 Church Street, owned by the Zona Revocable Trust, is a three-story flats and duplex structure constructed in 1907 in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, with significant work including a completed re-roofing project in 1990, the addition of a gas service connection in 2020, and an electrical meter addition in 2010. A plumbing permit for additional floor drains and bathroom work was issued in 2012, but this project was ultimately canceled.

The property has experienced minimal direct issues over the years, though it is located near Dolores Park, which has had several reported incidents. Between 2021 and 2023, there were multiple 311 calls related to the adjacent park, primarily concerning maintenance issues like graffiti removal, irrigation work, and park rule violations. These external incidents included three reports of graffiti (one in 2021, two in 2022), a park rules violation involving fireworks in 2023, and various other maintenance matters that were all successfully resolved by city services. The building's documented permit and maintenance history suggests regular upkeep of essential systems, with the most recent significant work being the gas service installation in 2020.

Risk rating

How 656-658 Church 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.
