Initial analysis

The two-unit, one-story multi-family residential building at 1187 Revere Avenue, constructed in 1992 and currently owned by the Mary L Ballard Living Trust, has undergone several significant improvements over recent years, including a 2022 window replacement project costing $19,579 that involved installing energy-efficient windows in street-visible locations, and a 2016 exterior renovation featuring new composite wood siding on the front upper section and vinyl siding on back and left walls, valued at $20,279. The building has experienced multiple code compliance issues, most notably a cluster of fire safety concerns in 2020 (multiple violations) and electrical system problems in 2023, though these were all marked as corrected. A notable violation history exists from July 2007 regarding electrical permits and heating system issues, which were resolved by September 2007.

The property's maintenance history shows regular attention to both safety and aesthetics, with recent fire safety inspections in 2022 (blocked exits) and 2023 (sprinkler/standpipe systems) showing prompt correction of identified issues. The building's immediate vicinity has experienced recurring issues with garbage and debris, particularly in late 2024, with multiple reports to environmental services, though these are external to the building itself. Additional permits from 1996 suggest historical compliance with regulatory requirements, and records indicate ongoing commitment to maintaining the property's structural and safety systems, as evidenced by prompt responses to fire code violations and other maintenance issues as they arise.

Risk rating

How 1187 Revere 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 382 buildings in this neighborhood, 260 are predicted to be safer.
