Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1281-1283 Florida St in San Francisco's Inner Mission district is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1904, currently owned by Chuang Ai-yu. The property has an extensive maintenance history, with several significant repairs documented over the past three decades. Most recently, in January 2023, a complaint was filed regarding building-wide issues with insects/rodents and mold, which followed a previous documented health hazard incident in 2002 involving poisonous mold. The building's maintenance record shows various structural improvements, including floor repairs due to dry rot in 2003 (costing $10,000), vinyl siding installation in 2001, front window replacement in 1998, and reroofing in 1992, though all these permits have since expired.

The property has experienced recurring issues with street-level maintenance and parking violations in the vicinity, particularly evident in recent months. Between September 2024 and January 2025, there have been multiple reports of garbage and debris (eight cases in total), with five cases being resolved and one currently in progress. There are also two recent parking enforcement cases from November 2024 regarding illegal parking, with one vehicle cited. Additionally, there is an open case from January 2025 regarding a sidewalk defect caused by tree roots, which is being addressed by Street Use and Mapping. While the building's historical maintenance record shows regular upkeep of major systems, the recent pattern of exterior cleaning issues and the 2023 complaint regarding pests and mold may warrant attention from prospective tenants considering this property.

Risk rating

How 1281-1283 Florida 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.
