Initial analysis

The two-unit, two-story duplex at 1236 Vermont Street in the Inner Mission, owned by the Pam & John Wilson Family Trust, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1900. Most notably, in early 2020, the property received a comprehensive roofing upgrade costing $15,950 and installed a modern solar system with 16 PV modules (5.6 kW) along with an electric vehicle charging outlet. The building has seen multiple structural enhancements related to interior connectivity, including the successful installation of a spiral staircase in 1992 (following several earlier attempts), the opening of two doorways in the lower flat, and various staircase reconstructions.

Recent concerns primarily center around environmental conditions in the vicinity of the building, with a pattern of garbage and debris reports between August and December 2024, including instances of human waste and loose garbage on or near the property. A notable fire safety incident occurred in August 2020 involving combustible materials, which led to violations in January 2021 related to improper storage of combustibles and restricted access to exterior doors; these violations were subsequently abated. The building's improvement history indicates regular maintenance and modernization efforts, with the most recent significant upgrades focusing on safety and sustainability.

Risk rating

How 1236 Vermont 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.
