Initial analysis

The property at 1245-1247 Valencia Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in the Inner Mission neighborhood. Built in 1900, this flats and duplex structure has undergone several maintenance and repair projects over the years, with significant work including exterior wall and ceiling repairs completed in 1999, and two roofing projects permitted in 1989 and 1991, though both of these permits expired without completion verification. The most recent building-related activity occurred in 2009, involving a street space and sidewalk permit that was issued but represents minimal impact on the building's condition.

The building's immediate surroundings have experienced recurring maintenance challenges, particularly in 2023-2024, with multiple incidents requiring municipal intervention. These included reports of graffiti (both offensive and non-offensive) in March and October 2023, general street cleaning needs, and waste removal requests. The area experienced various urban maintenance issues, including garbage and debris problems, human or animal waste incidents, and a reported encampment in late 2024, all of which were eventually resolved through municipal intervention. While these external maintenance issues have been addressed through city services, they represent ongoing environmental challenges in the building's immediate vicinity, though none of these incidents directly impacted the building's structural integrity or internal systems based on available records.

Risk rating

How 1245-1247 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

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 690 are predicted to be safer.
