Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1235 York Street in the Inner Mission is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1900, currently owned by Jorge Guzman and Rey Ferreira. The building's recorded history shows significant attention to stair safety, particularly in 2006 when unauthorized construction of new stairs to the upper unit provoked a complaint that led to a Notice of Violation (NOV) being issued on August 24, 2006. The owners subsequently secured a permit and completed the $8,000 stair replacement work by November 2006 to bring the project into compliance. An expired permit from 1992 is on record for miscellaneous work including shower installation, tiling, vanity work, and foundation repair.

The property has been the subject of various municipal service calls in recent years, particularly in 2022-2024, with multiple reports related to street cleaning, garbage, and debris issues in the vicinity, though none directly implicate the building itself. There have been several documented incidents of illegal parking and sidewalk blocking near the property, with two parking enforcement cases resolved in 2023-2024. Of particular note, there was a substantial tenant buyout event reported for a separate property (2872 25th Street) in 2015 involving two tenants and a payment of $75,000, though this is not connected to the current building. The building's most recent maintenance history shows no major structural or safety issues on record since the stair replacement was completed over 17 years ago.

Risk rating

How 1235 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.
