Initial analysis

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 812 York Street in the Inner Mission, owned by Bullock James M and Saltman Nin, was constructed in 1906 as a two-story flats and duplex structure. The building has a documented history of addressing safety concerns, notably when a wooden utility ladder at the rear of the building prompted a violation notice in September 2009, which was subsequently removed in compliance with city orders by March 2010. Earlier improvements to the building include a stairway replacement project completed in 1986.

The property has recently experienced several maintenance and safety issues, with the most significant being sewer-related problems in December 2023, including flooding on the property and a sewer vent issue that required attention from the Public Utilities Commission. Since then, multiple reports of general sanitation concerns have been filed, with a notable cluster of garbage and debris incidents recorded throughout 2024, including instances involving hazardous materials such as liquids (reported in March 2024). The building's management appears to have responded to these issues, as evidenced by the "Closed Case Resolved" statuses on most recent complaint calls. While the property has maintained compliance with building codes since the 2009 ladder removal, the recent pattern of sewer and sanitation-related complaints suggests ongoing infrastructure and maintenance challenges that have emerged over the past year.

Risk rating

How 812 York 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 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 809 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 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.

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 72.7%
Moderate concern 21.2%
Severe concern 6.1%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
