Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 68 Cumberland Street in Mission Dolores is a 2-story structure built in 1931, currently owned by Elizabeth Dana Sachs. The building's maintenance history shows two roofing projects: an issued permit for reroofing in 2003 costing $6,880, and an expired permit from 1990 for a similar project. The property has experienced several parking-related issues in recent years, with six documented incidents between 2019 and 2023 involving blocked driveways or sidewalk parking, though most of these cases resulted in officers being unable to locate the offending vehicles. There have also been three reports regarding streetlight shield installations between late 2018 and September 2019, all of which were transferred to the streetlight upgrade department as they were not maintenance issues.

The building has had two street cleaning-related incidents in 2019 and one in July 2024, with the latter involving various types of loose debris and being resolved. A CO detector activation due to malfunction was recorded at the property, though no civilian injuries were reported. The property's documented history suggests regular maintenance of basic infrastructure, though many parking issues have occurred in the vicinity, primarily involving vehicles from various makes and models. The most recent building work on record is from 2003, with no major repairs or modifications documented in the past 20 years. The parking enforcement issues have been the most consistent occurrence at this address, however, with three incidents in 2023 alone, suggesting ongoing challenges with parking compliance in the immediate area.

Risk rating

How 68 Cumberland 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.
