Initial analysis

The property at 890-892 Rhode Island Street is a two-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building located in Potrero Hill, constructed in 1907 and currently owned by the Maria Hanson 1999 Revocable Trust. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and repair projects over the past two decades, with the most recent work in 2016 involving water line and sewer line replacements, along with window and door repairs to address leaks. A comprehensive set of repairs was completed in 2015, including decking repairs, guardrail work, and stair repairs, following a series of building violations issued in late 2014 that required attention to fire safety, plumbing, and structural issues such as stairs, toilets, and lighting. The building has a history of deck-related maintenance, with earlier repairs documented in 1998-2000.

The property experienced a cluster of violations in late 2014 related to various safety and maintenance issues, including the need for fire extinguishers, roof drainage systems, and lighting improvements, all of which were abated by February 2015. There were also several complaints regarding lead paint handling in early 2015. Historical records from 1989-1991 show efforts to legalize and improve the building's units, including addressing dry rot issues and kitchen repairs. More recently, there have been multiple 311 calls between 2020-2024 primarily related to parking enforcement matters outside the building, though these are not directly related to the building's condition or safety. Two building inspection-related complaints were filed in 2022, though the outcomes are not detailed in the provided data.

Risk rating

How 890-892 Rhode Island 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.
