Initial analysis

The property at 1081-1089 Valencia Street is a two-story, 9-unit multi-family residential building with ground floor commercial space, built in 1890 and currently owned by Pinto Legacy Properties LLC. The building has undergone significant recent improvements, with multiple permits issued in 2024 including comprehensive renovations to Unit G ($22,000) involving bathroom updates, electrical code compliance, and plumbing repairs, as well as the installation of an accessible bathroom and related ADA improvements ($30,000) that included electrical upgrades and wall modifications between commercial and residential spaces. The building's electrical and plumbing systems have received substantial attention, with permits showing work on ventilation, ductwork, heat pumps, and bathroom facilities dating back to 2016.

The property has a history of addressing maintenance and safety concerns, with all building violations from 2008 related to security and ventilation issues being promptly abated within one month. Several construction-related complaints were filed in 2016 regarding plaster deterioration and construction impacts on adjacent units, while a blight complaint was filed in April 2024. Fire safety concerns have been documented through various complaints between 2011 and 2021, with most being resolved or determined to have no merit. The building's exterior has experienced recurring issues with graffiti, particularly during 2024, and there were multiple reports of sanitation issues in the vicinity throughout 2023-2024. The property's recent permit activity suggests ongoing investment in maintenance and improvements, with particular attention to accessibility compliance and unit modernization, while historical records indicate past challenges with ventilation, security systems, and maintenance response times that have generally been addressed.

Risk rating

How 1081-1089 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.
