Initial analysis

The property at 576-580 Arkansas Street is a 2-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1906, consisting of 3 units and currently owned by Alicia Fenili. The building has undergone significant improvements and renovations over the past decade, with major work documented between 2013-2018 including substantial foundation and framing work, complete electrical rewiring, window and door replacements, and comprehensive remodeling of kitchens and bathrooms across multiple units. In 2018, work was completed to remove non-historic stucco siding and address dry-rot issues with window frames, demonstrating ongoing maintenance of the building's structure.

The building's history includes some concerning safety issues that have since been resolved. In 2002, there were multiple violations related to the rear cottage's gas systems and possible unauthorized unit status, though these were abated by October 2002. A 2017 violation regarding illegal short-term rental use was also resolved, with penalties paid and confirmation of compliance in 2017. More recently, the property has experienced ongoing parking enforcement issues, with numerous citations issued for blocked driveways and sidewalk parking between June and October 2024. The building's systems have been extensively upgraded, including new heating systems, electrical panels, and comprehensive bathroom/kitchen remodeling across units, though there is one expired electrical permit from 2018 that may require verification.

Risk rating

How 576-580 Arkansas 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
30th percentile

Out of 726 buildings in this neighborhood, 508 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 51.3%
Moderate concern 37.7%
Severe concern 11.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
