Initial analysis

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 281-285 Missouri Street in Potrero Hill was constructed in 1906 and is currently owned by Richard A. and Janice M. Fiore. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and repair projects over the past few decades, with the most substantial work occurring between 2015-2016, including $15,000 in rear yard stair maintenance, $4,000 in wood siding replacement, and a $5,000 concrete foundation project at the rear elevation. These repairs were necessary to address structural and safety concerns, particularly regarding the rear stairs and deteriorated siding. In September 2021, the building faced a lead paint violation related to deteriorated exterior peeling paint, which was abated by November 2021; this violation prompted several notifications about lead hazard safety precautions.

The building's maintenance history includes a complete code compliance update in 1987 and a reroofing project in 1997. Three routine housing inspections were conducted in 1999, 2009, and 2021, with all cases being marked as not active. More recent activity at the site includes multiple 311 calls in 2024 regarding street cleaning issues (primarily related to human waste or urine) and several parking enforcement requests regarding sidewalk parking violations. While these recent issues relate more to the street environment rather than the building itself, they may impact resident experience in the immediate vicinity of the property.

Risk rating

How 281-285 Missouri 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.
