Initial analysis

The two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 952 York Street in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood, owned by Arturo Jimenez, was constructed in 1962 and has experienced several significant events throughout its history. The building underwent a re-roofing project in 2021 costing $6,000, and had various electrical work completed in 2005 including the installation of lights, switches, and receptacles in unit #4. Notably, the building faced multiple safety-related violations in 2003, including issues with fire safety systems (such as smoke enclosure doors and electrical outlets), which were all abated by October 2003. There were also significant maintenance concerns in the late 1990s, including complaints about moisture, mildew, and plumbing issues in 1996-1997, as well as an unauthorized demolition of stairs and possible unit conversion.

More recent history shows relatively minimal concerning patterns, with the most recent building-related issues primarily involving routine matters such as garbage collection. The property has been subject to periodic routine inspections, with the last recorded inspection in 2010. A potentially serious issue was investigated in 2019 regarding the operation of an unauthorized Airbnb, though records indicate this violation was resolved. The building's maintenance record shows attention to structural issues, with dry rot repairs completed in 1984, and various renovations aimed at maintaining building systems over the years. While there have been multiple 311 calls regarding the property and its immediate surroundings since 2020, these have primarily concerned street maintenance and parking issues rather than building-specific problems.

Risk rating

How 952 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.
