Initial analysis

This three-story, two-unit multi-family residential building located at 1262 Hollister Ave in Bayview Heights was built in 1900 and is currently owned by Mohammed Hijazi. The property has undergone several significant renovation efforts, with the most recent major work occurring in 2005 when the kitchen cabinets, bathrooms, and various fixtures were updated at a cost of $5,000. Historical records show that the building experienced fire damage in 1997 when it was temporarily vacant, and though some repairs were attempted that same year, including roofing work and rotten wood repairs, multiple permit applications from the 1990s expired or were canceled. More recently, the building has faced several maintenance challenges, with multiple 311 calls in late 2024 reporting issues such as garbage and debris (including human waste), missing sewer vent covers, a lifted sidewalk, and parking violations. Two notable fire code violation complaints were recorded in 2020, along with a 2015 complaint for operating without a permit, though records indicate that the 2015 violation was eventually corrected in 2016.

The property has been subject to multiple infrastructure and safety issues in recent months, with persistent concerns about garbage and debris on the property (with multiple open and closed cases between November 2024 and January 2025), sidewalk defects, and missing infrastructure components like sewer vent covers. These issues suggest ongoing challenges with property maintenance and exterior upkeep. While historical records show various renovation attempts and repairs over the years, including significant work in 2005, the building's age and history of occupancy issues, including vacancy during the 1997 fire damage period, indicate it has required ongoing attention to maintain its residential function.

Risk rating

How 1262 Hollister 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
57th percentile

Out of 54 buildings in this neighborhood, 23 are predicted to be safer.
