Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 979 York Street in the Inner Mission, owned by the Juanita B Agcaoili Revoc Tr, is a two-story flats and duplex structure dating back to 1900. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past three decades, with the most recent major work being the replacement of a patio door in 2018 (valued at $5,191) and the installation of vinyl windows in 2010 that comply with modern energy efficiency standards. Important structural work was completed in the 1990s, including foundation bolting in 1995 and rafter repairs in 1993, demonstrating attention to the building's structural integrity. The plumbing infrastructure received an upgrade in 2014 with a house trap and sewer line replacement, though this permit has since expired.

The building's maintenance record shows consistent upkeep, though there was one building complaint filed in August 2018 regarding after-hours construction noise. More recently, between 2021 and 2024, there have been multiple reports of street-level issues in the vicinity of the building, including instances of human/animal waste, general garbage, offensive graffiti, and a dead tree requiring removal. These exterior maintenance issues, while not directly related to the building's internal condition, may affect the overall environment around the property. The most recent service call was in March 2024 regarding waste that had been removed, and while many of these exterior issues have been resolved, they indicate ongoing challenges with the immediate surrounding area.

Risk rating

How 979 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, 1642 are predicted to be safer.
