Initial analysis

The property at 125-127 Precita Ave in Bernal Heights is a two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Holmes High Rustler LLC, containing three units. The building has undergone significant renovations between 2016-2017, including multiple kitchen and bathroom remodels, extensive window replacements (37 windows), and addressing structural issues such as dry rot and substandard framing. The renovations also included updates to electrical systems, with complete rewiring of multiple units, and HVAC improvements through the replacement of all furnaces and the installation of a new tankless water heater.

The building's history includes notable compliance challenges, particularly a 2010 complaint that revealed unauthorized unit conversions and various building code violations, including concerns about egress, smoke detectors, plumbing, and structural modifications. While these violations were marked as "Not active," they indicated significant past concerns about building safety and compliance. A subsequent 2014 complaint regarding unpermitted siding work was also resolved. More recent service calls from 2023-2024 have primarily involved parking enforcement issues on the sidewalk, with multiple citations issued, and one ongoing concern about tree root damage to the sidewalk reported in late 2023.

Risk rating

How 125-127 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
