Initial analysis

873 Valencia Street is a three-story, multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood, constructed in 1911 and currently owned by the Assembly Of Pentecostal Church. The building, which contains three residential units, has undergone several significant improvements over the past few decades, most notably a complete reroofing project in 2022 costing $18,000, stair repairs in 2007-2008, and a foundation work completed in 1984. Earlier modifications included the installation of vinyl siding in 1989, though this permit has since expired.

The property has experienced recurring issues with graffiti and street cleaning, particularly in recent years. There are three documented incidents of graffiti between 2020 and 2024, with the most recent case from May 2024 currently open. The building's surroundings have required multiple street cleaning interventions, with eight calls for service between 2020 and 2024, typically involving reports of loose garbage. A notable incident in March 2022 involved a hazardous materials report for liquid substances, though inspection found no spill. The most recent significant event related to the building is a tenant buyout at the adjacent 869 Valencia Street address in April 2024, involving one tenant and a payment of $100,000.

Risk rating

How 873 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.
