Initial analysis

The property at 123 San Jose Ave in San Francisco's Inner Mission District is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1880, currently owned by Kevin Molinari. The building's maintenance history shows several significant updates, including a 2017 reroofing project costing $9,000 and a substantial electrical upgrade completed in 2018 that involved installing a new 200-amp service with five meters. A gas houseline extension was performed in 2008, and historical records indicate repairs to dry rot in the front stairs dating back to 1993.

The building has undergone regular housing inspections, with records showing routine apartment house inspections in 2008 and 2001, both of which were promptly addressed. While there have been multiple 311 calls in 2024, most relate to parking violations and were either resolved with citations or marked as "unable to locate." Several recent complaints regarding construction noise and building inspections were either closed due to invalid address issues or transferred. The only fire-related incident on record was a power line issue with no civilian injuries reported. The most recent building-related activity on record is a construction equipment-related sidewalk blockage reported in August 2024, though this was closed as a transferred case.

Risk rating

How 123 San Jose Ave'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
54th percentile

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 1095 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.

DBI complaint rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building complaint rate across the owner's portfolio.

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 29.1%
Moderate concern 30.5%
Severe concern 40.3%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
