Initial analysis

The property at 822 Arkansas Street is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1957, currently owned by Chan Kennedy & Naomi Uyeda. The building has undergone significant modifications and faced several regulatory challenges throughout its history, with the most substantial work occurring in 2019, including an extensive remodeling project costing $100,000 that added new bathrooms, dormer windows, bedrooms, and involved relocating various facilities. This renovation period also included roofing work, electrical upgrades, and the installation of new plumbing systems across multiple units, with all these permits successfully completed. However, the building's history reveals persistent regulatory concerns, particularly from 2011-2014, when active violations were filed regarding unauthorized modifications, including the construction of an illegal unit with serious safety and code compliance issues such as unapproved wiring, plumbing, heating systems, and missing smoke detectors. These violations resulted in a failed attempt for the property to be designated as a single-family dwelling.

The property has a documented history of maintenance and habitability issues, particularly during the 2009-2012 period, including reports of mold problems, plumbing issues, and safety concerns regarding stairs and exterior features. While many of these issues seem to have been addressed during the extensive 2019 renovation period, there are still some active matters to consider, including recent complaints about mold and mildew (2012) and a complaint about unauthorized construction (2011) that remains unresolved as of the last available building data. The property underwent unit legalization processes in 2018-2019, with various improvements made to meet building codes and rectify previous violations, including the installation of new bathrooms, heating systems, and smoke detectors. Recent 311 calls regarding the property (in 2023-2024) have been primarily related to park services and parking issues, suggesting that the major building-related concerns may have been largely addressed through the 2019 renovations, though the presence of some active violations from 2011-2014 is noteworthy.

Risk rating

How 822 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.
