Initial analysis

The property at 268 San Carlos Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood. Built in 1908, this flats and duplex structure has had minimal recorded building permit activity over the past several decades, with only two permits on file: an expired furnace installation and ductwork project from 1999, and a window replacement project from 1998, both of which are now considered expired.

The most pressing current concern is an open case from November 2024 involving a potentially hazardous tree situation, with reports indicating a tree near the property is "about to fall." The building has experienced recurring issues with street cleanliness and debris, particularly in 2024, with multiple 311 calls (at least eight) regarding garbage, debris, and general cleaning needs between January and September 2024. These cases were generally resolved through city intervention, though they suggest an ongoing challenge with street maintenance in the immediate vicinity. Parking-related issues have also been documented, including two cases of driveway blocking in 2024, one of which resulted in a citation. The property's documented improvements (furnace and windows) occurred over 25 years ago, and no recent major building improvements or renovations have been recorded in the available permit history.

Risk rating

How 268 San Carlos 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

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 500 are predicted to be safer.

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.

Building age

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

Neighborhood location

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

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 74.9%
Moderate concern 13.6%
Severe concern 11.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
