Initial analysis

The property at 1053-1055 Valencia Street in the Inner Mission is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1885, currently owned by Columba I LLC. The building's maintenance and improvement history shows regular upkeep, with the most recent significant work being a reroofing project completed in May 2023 at a cost of $29,850. Previous major improvements include compliance with the accessibility business entrance program in 2019 through a $5,000 front door replacement, and substantial interior renovations in 2004 including kitchen cabinet replacement, bathroom updates, and associated electrical work totaling $16,000. Of particular note, the building experienced a serious water intrusion issue in 1996 affecting multiple rooms, though this complaint was promptly abated within two days.

The surrounding area has seen various municipal service calls in recent years, primarily related to street maintenance and cleaning, with several reports of abandoned furniture and debris between 2021 and 2025. There were also incidents involving graffiti on parking meters in November 2021 and multiple 311 calls regarding street cleanliness, including reports of human or animal waste. While these external issues do not directly impact the building's integrity or safety, they provide context about the immediate neighborhood environment. The property's documented permit history and abatement of past complaints suggest responsible ownership and maintenance practices, with no active building violations or safety concerns on record as of October 2023.

Risk rating

How 1053-1055 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.
