Initial analysis

The property at 201 Precita Avenue, located in San Francisco's Bernal Heights neighborhood, is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Charles Wylie-Petruzziello. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over its history, with the most recent major work occurring in 2009 when treads and risers on the front entry stairs and decking boards on the rear deck were replaced, though this work was preceded by a building complaint regarding unpermitted work on the front porch. Prior maintenance includes a complete reroofing project in 2003 (estimated cost $5,000). Historical records show multiple roofing-related permits from the 1980s, including two that expired - one for roof removal and insulation work in June 1984, and another for roof replacement in July 1985. There was also an attempted permit for a room addition in October 1985, which expired.

Recent infrastructure issues addressed at or near the property include a sewage backup incident in January 2020 that was investigated and found to have no observable problems. The property's maintenance history suggests regular upkeep, with the most recent significant work being over 14 years ago. The building has been the subject of several unrelated municipal service calls, including recent parking enforcement actions (including an abandoned vehicle situation in July 2024), though none of these directly indicate any structural or safety concerns with the building itself. The only planning-related action on record is a closed and approved DPW referral from Verizon for a wireless facility installation, which typically would not affect building residents.

Risk rating

How 201 Precita 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 1276 buildings in this neighborhood, 191 are predicted to be safer.
