Initial analysis

The two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 125 San Jose Avenue in the Inner Mission, owned by Simoni Zelko & Renee, was constructed in 1963. The building has undergone several maintenance and inspection processes over the years, with one of the most significant current issues being an active violation from April 2017 regarding fire safety concerns, specifically related to fire extinguisher maintenance and required affidavits. The property has experienced various routine inspections through Housing Inspection Services, with the most recent significant complaint occurring in April 2020 regarding unsafe construction practices during the COVID-19 pandemic, though this complaint is currently not active.

The building's maintenance history includes a reroofing project completed in 2009, with a cost of $6,000, and historical structural work in 1990 involving repairs to the rear header and garage area. While there have been two fire incidents recorded (both minor - one involving a malfunctioning smoke detector and another with a carbon monoxide detector that showed no actual CO), neither resulted in civilian injuries. The surrounding area has experienced various maintenance issues typical of urban environments, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in 2023 related to street cleaning and graffiti removal, though these are municipal rather than building-specific issues. The property's documentation shows a mixture of routine maintenance, regulatory compliance issues, and normal urban challenges, with the most pressing current concerns being the active 2017 building and fire safety violations that remain unresolved as of the latest available data.

Risk rating

How 125 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
47th percentile

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 1261 are predicted to be safer.
