Initial analysis

The property at 700 Arkansas Street in Potrero Hill is a two-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1907, currently owned by the Saldamando Family Revocable Trust. The building's maintenance history shows consistent attention to structural integrity, particularly regarding water damage and moisture issues. Between 2007 and 2008, the property underwent several repairs related to water damage, including replacement of siding, windows, and subfloor sections, with costs totaling approximately $11,500. Earlier maintenance included deck repairs in 2000, patio ledger replacement in 1999, and two roofing projects in 1996 and 1997. An enclosure for entry/stairs was added in 1983.

The most recent significant work on the property was completed in October 2024, involving updates to the Arkansas community garden's backflow device and related piping. The building's immediate vicinity has experienced various infrastructure issues in 2024, though these primarily affect public spaces rather than the building itself. These include two reported curb or ramp defects (one from August and another from September 2024), a water leak incident in September 2024, and several parking-related complaints that were either unresolved or could not be validated. The property has maintained a relatively low number of complaints and violations, with most historical permits focusing on necessary repairs and maintenance rather than major alterations or expansions.

Risk rating

How 700 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.
