AI summary

The three-story, 5-unit multi-family residential building at 855-857 Valencia Street in the Inner Mission, owned by 406-10-12 Realty Corp and constructed in 1938, has undergone several significant maintenance and compliance events over the past decade. Most recently, in 2019, repairs were made to the rear staircase due to dry rot, and there have been multiple roofing work permits filed and completed in 2010 totaling approximately $10,000 in costs. The building experienced several code violations in the early 2000s, including egress obstructions, security door issues, and a broken window pane, though all were promptly addressed by May 2000. A 2010 complaint regarding an unsafe storage shed in the rear yard was also resolved.

More recent history includes multiple fire safety-related complaints, with a notable electrical systems issue in December 2019 that was corrected promptly. The property underwent planning approval in 2023 for conversion of retail space to a veterinary clinic, though this proposal has subsequently been marked as closed. In terms of resident safety and building conditions, the property has had recurring issues with exterior security, including self-closing door requirements, though historical records show these were addressed. The most recent building area concerns have centered around graffiti, noise, and waste management issues, with multiple 311 calls documented throughout 2023-2024, though most were resolved without significant findings. The building's recent maintenance record shows attention to structural issues, particularly regarding the staircase repairs, though the recurring instances of security-related complaints in the early 2000s suggest historical concerns about access control that have since been resolved.

Risk rating

How 855-857 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.

Neighborhood percentile
