Initial analysis

1201 Revere Avenue is a duplex residential property located in the Bayview neighborhood, built in 1925 and currently owned by Lu Baiji Patrick & Wong Wai. The building has experienced several significant incidents and property management challenges over the past years. Most notably, in 2012, there was a fire incident affecting the garage area that resulted in unsafe conditions and required remediation. Following this, the property underwent various improvements in 2014, including interior renovations totaling $20,000 (painting, flooring, lighting, and cabinet repairs) to comply with multiple notices of violation. The building faced vacant property-related violations in 2012-2013 and 2014, with multiple notices issued under San Francisco Building Code 194-09, though these were all eventually abated in early 2014.

More recent history shows some concerns about unauthorized modifications, with complaints in 2014 regarding possible illegal unit conversion and unpermitted construction of an additional room in the backyard, though these complaints are no longer active. The property underwent several infrastructure improvements in 2014, including the installation of an additional gas meter, replacement of rusty meter sockets, and various electrical upgrades. The most concerning issue appears to be the series of vacant building violations between 2012-2014, which required multiple enforcement actions before being resolved.

Risk rating

How 1201 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.
