Initial analysis

The two-unit, two-story residential building at 846 York Street in San Francisco's Inner Mission, owned by the Robert J Menacho Trust, has a documented history dating back to its construction in 1906. The most significant structural improvement recorded was a reroofing project completed in 2011 at a cost of $8,750. More recently, the property has experienced recurring issues with tree root damage to the sidewalk, with multiple reports filed between 2020 and 2024. These tree-related problems have resulted in at least six documented cases, with the most recent reports from August 2024 indicating both opened and resolved statuses. The city's Department of Public Works has acknowledged these issues, particularly in 2020 when they noted that while there was no immediate safety concern, the city would be addressing street tree maintenance through its StreetTreeSF program.

The property has faced some external maintenance challenges in recent years, including various reports of sidewalk defects and debris. Between 2023 and 2024, there were multiple reports of lifted sidewalk issues attributed to tree roots, along with cases of garbage, debris, and general cleaning needs. Two sidewalk defect reports from September 2024 were marked as duplicates, suggesting some confusion in reporting. A notable incident in 2021 involved an encampment situation that was subsequently resolved. The frequency of tree-related issues, particularly between 2020 and 2024, indicates an ongoing concern with root system impacts on public infrastructure, though these have been primarily addressed through official channels.

Risk rating

How 846 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.
