Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 497 Vermont Street in Potrero Hill, owned by the Azancot-couvreur Family Rev, is a duplex structure built in 1916 containing two units. The property's documented history shows several building permits, with the most significant recent activity being street space permits in 2006, while earlier records from 1994 and 1997 indicate completed work on as-built plans and reroofing, respectively.

Recent municipal service activity from 2024-2025 has focused primarily on external maintenance and cleanliness issues surrounding the property, including multiple reports of garbage and debris requiring street cleaning services, graffiti on both mailboxes and sidewalks (with several cases being USPS-related), and ongoing concerns with tree maintenance including an open case regarding an overgrown tree blocking signs and weeding issues. Notably, there was one reported encampment case in September 2024 that was cancelled, and a tenant buyout at the adjacent address (509 Vermont Street) was recorded in May 2018 involving one tenant receiving $44,375. While the building itself has not had major structural issues reported in recent years, the surrounding area has experienced recurring maintenance and cleanliness challenges that have required regular attention from various city agencies.

Risk rating

How 497 Vermont 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 726 buildings in this neighborhood, 283 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.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Property class: multi-family flat

2–4 unit flats (class F) are a common SF building type with their own maintenance and complaint patterns.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 60.5%
Moderate concern 29.0%
Severe concern 10.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
