Initial analysis

The 45 Boardman Place property is a two-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's South of Market neighborhood. This two-story flats and duplex structure, built in 1934 and currently owned by the Denysius S Cruz Trust, has undergone several significant renovations over the years, with the most substantial being a vertical addition completed in 1997. Between 1997 and 1999, multiple window installations were completed, including three separate permits for vinyl window replacements totaling 28 windows. An attempt to convert an existing shed into a studio was permitted in 1998 for $5,000, though records show this permit expired. A housing complaint was filed in July 1998 regarding alleged illegal units and unauthorized construction work, though this complaint was abated within one week.

The property has experienced various maintenance and safety-related issues in its vicinity since 2021, with multiple street cleaning calls for human/animal waste and medical waste, including needles, recorded in 2022-2024. There were also several parking-related complaints in 2021, particularly involving vehicles blocking driveways, though some of these cases were marked as invalid due to incomplete reporting information. Recent external issues include a resolved encampment situation from September 2024 and a medical waste incident in March 2024. The building's permit history indicates regular maintenance and upgrading of the property throughout the late 1990s, though the nature of the 1998 complaint raises some historical concern about unauthorized modifications to the building.

Risk rating

How 45 Boardman Pl'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.
