Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1225 York Street in the Inner Mission was constructed in 1900 and has undergone several significant improvements over the last few decades. Most notably, in 2011-2012, the property underwent substantial renovations including a comprehensive remodeling of four bedrooms, two kitchens, two full bathrooms, and three half-bathrooms across both units, with a total cost of $60,000. This renovation was accompanied by updates to comply with modern energy efficiency standards, including high-efficiency lighting installations and the addition of occupancy sensors in bathrooms. Structural improvements were made in late 2011 with the replacement of brick footings and wood beams with new concrete footings and steel support structures, as well as a complete window replacement project in 2004. More recent building systems upgrades include the installation of two gas furnaces and new heating ducting in 2012.

The property has experienced recurring parking-related issues in the immediate vicinity, with multiple documented cases of blocked driveways and illegal parking between 2022 and 2025, resulting in several citations being issued. A minor hazardous materials incident involving glass on the street (resolved) and two instances of loose garbage on the sidewalk (also resolved) were reported in 2023-2024. Of particular significance was a short-term rental violation that occurred in 2022, where one unit was illegally listed on Airbnb. This violation was investigated and subsequently abated, with the property owners instructed to cancel pending reservations and remove unauthorized listings.

Risk rating

How 1225 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.
