Initial analysis

The property at 90 Carr Street in Bayview Heights is a 2-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1949, currently owned by Kevin Wai Chung Yau. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades, including bathroom remodels in 2003, electrical system upgrades in 2011 (125-amp service with 10 circuits), and the installation of a 1.2 kW solar system in 2012 consisting of 6 roof-mounted solar PV modules. A concerning incident was reported in June 2015 when complaints were filed regarding an allegedly unauthorized construction of an illegal unit in the backyard, described as involving wiring and flooring work, though this complaint appears to have been marked as not active.

Recent activity around the property has primarily involved parking and sanitation issues, with multiple complaints about blocked driveways and illegal parking recorded between December 2024 and January 2025, along with several reports of garbage and debris. The building's exterior maintenance came under scrutiny in 2020 due to overgrown weeds and grass, though this issue was corrected within a month. Prior to these recent issues, the property had received various improvements including a full bathroom remodel and corresponding electrical work in 2003, followed by significant electrical upgrades in 2011. The building's documented history shows attention to sustainability with the installation of solar panels, though no recent major renovations or improvements have been recorded. It's worth noting that the property was involved in two tenant buyouts at a different address (1215 Jamestown Avenue) in May 2022, each involving 2 tenants and a payout of $10,000.

Risk rating

How 90 Carr 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.

Neighborhood percentile
