Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 1211 San Bruno Ave, located in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood, is a duplex Flats & Duplex structure built in 1900, currently owned by Juan Antonio & Micaela Ruza. The property has undergone significant improvements between 2012-2014, including a substantial rear addition consisting of a new bedroom on the ground floor and a family room on the second floor (cost: $50,000), along with patio construction on the rear south side ($10,000). These renovations were accompanied by comprehensive updates to the building's infrastructure, including new plumbing installations for multiple bathrooms, kitchen, and laundry facilities, electrical rewiring for several areas including the new family room and bedroom, and an HVAC upgrade with the installation of a new furnace in 2013. A previous permit from 2012 for kitchen relocation, bathroom remodeling, and foundation reinforcement expired without completion.

The building is currently facing several maintenance and environmental challenges, as evidenced by multiple recent 311 calls in 2024. These include reports of overgrown trees (accepted for action), graffiti on both the building and sidewalk, a vehicle alarm, and issues with garbage and debris. Street maintenance concerns have been noted, such as receptacle management and illegal postings, though some issues were resolved through intervention from city services. While the building's interior improvements from 2012-2014 demonstrate significant investment in modernization and safety upgrades, the recent external maintenance issues suggest a need for ongoing attention to preservation and upkeep of the property's exterior and surrounding areas.

Risk rating

How 1211 San Bruno Ave'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, 1452 are predicted to be safer.
