Initial analysis

The 1075-1077 Valencia Street property is a 2-story, 8-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood, built in 1925 and currently owned by Paul J. Olszewski. The building has undergone significant improvements in recent years, with the most substantial work related to a mandatory soft-story retrofit completed in 2018 (Tier 4), which included structural modifications and electrical upgrades. Unit 7 received particular attention in 2017-2018, undergoing comprehensive renovations including kitchen remodeling, electrical system upgrades (new sub-panel, receptacles, lights, switches), and plumbing work (new gas line and waste line modifications). Other units have also received improvements, including Unit 1 which underwent electrical panel upgrades and related installations in 2016.

The building's history shows regular maintenance and compliance with safety requirements, though there were several violations in 2003-2008 related to fire safety (e.g., fire extinguisher maintenance, egress obstructions) and security (e.g., self-closing doors), all of which were promptly addressed and abated. Recent activities include routine inspections in 2015 and 2008, and some street space permits issued between 2017-2020. A complaint regarding unpermitted banners was filed in December 2024, though this appears to be more about general urban conditions rather than specific building issues. Two planning records are noted regarding a proposed spiral staircase between units 6 and 7 and a condominium development proposal, but both are marked as closed. The building's compliance with the soft-story retrofit requirement and ongoing maintenance activities suggest attention to structural integrity and resident safety, while recent improvements indicate continued investment in the property's upkeep.

Risk rating

How 1075-1077 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
17th percentile

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 1975 are predicted to be safer.

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.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Neighborhood location

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 39.0%
Moderate concern 36.6%
Severe concern 24.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.

2024
DBI Complaint Dec 03
Unpermitted banners left to blight and spread urban decay prove that current methods haven¿t worked and accountability is nonexistent. we must transition to a contract city model, replacing high-overhead public staff with private contractors who provide proactive services. this is more cost-effective, and contractors can be held responsible or dismissed if necessary. code enforcement must also be fully implemented, similar to mta ticketing. in this way, we will achieve our objectives citywide.(311 sr 101001106874)
