Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 370-372 San Carlos Street in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood, owned by Ricardo & Gladys Alva since 2018, has undergone multiple repairs and renovations since its construction in 1900. The property has a documented history of improvements and maintenance issues, with the most recent significant work including window replacements and plumbing improvements completed in 2017. Earlier renovations from 2011-2015 addressed various safety and habitability concerns, including repairs to front entrance stairs, installation of code-compliant handrails, and electrical system upgrades. The building faced serious habitability concerns in July 2011, when multiple violations were documented including issues with heating, rodent infestation, plumbing, electrical outlets, and interior surfaces; these violations were ultimately resolved by March 2014.

The property has experienced several permit renewal issues, particularly regarding plumbing and electrical work, requiring multiple extensions and renewals between 2016-2017 to complete necessary inspections. A notable construction-related incident occurred in 2000 when there were complaints about unauthorized nighttime work. More recently, in 2024, there have been multiple reports of sidewalk defects, with one notice of violation issued in November 2024 related to unauthorized excavation work. The property has also generated numerous 311 calls in 2024 primarily related to street cleaning and sidewalk maintenance issues. While many historical violations and complaints have been resolved, the pattern of permit renewals and recent sidewalk issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's location in a densely populated area continues to experience typical urban challenges as evidenced by the 311 calls for street cleaning and parking enforcement.

Risk rating

How 370-372 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

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.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

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

Neighborhood location

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

Building age

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 80.7%
Moderate concern 12.8%
Severe concern 6.6%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
