Initial analysis

The three-story, 6-unit multi-family residential building at 920-924 Valencia Street, constructed in 1890, has undergone various maintenance and accessibility improvements over recent years. Most notably, in December 2023, permits were filed for the installation of power door operators to comply with mandatory disability access improvement programs. A significant infrastructure upgrade was completed in October 2022 with the replacement of the sewer main line from the rear bathroom to the curbside p-trap using new cast iron piping. The building's exterior maintenance includes a 2017 window replacement project involving 20 aluminum clad wood windows on the front side, though this remains "On Hold" in planning records.

The property has faced several compliance issues that have since been addressed, including a 2001 routine inspection that revealed multiple violations requiring repairs to smoke detectors, guardrails, stairs, handrails, and walls, all of which were abated by April 2001. More recent concerns from 2018 regarding damaged paint finishes, window issues, and lead hazards remain active. The building has also experienced some operational challenges, including a 2021 complaint about after-hours construction noise and a 2012 incident involving unauthorized ATM installation, though both issues were subsequently resolved. Recent months have seen various 311 calls primarily related to street maintenance and refuse management in the vicinity of the building, with the most recent being garbage and debris reports in September 2024.

Risk rating

How 920-924 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.
