Initial analysis

The property at 301 Precita Ave is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building located in Bernal Heights, built in 1900 and currently owned by Timothy E. Pellissier. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past 25 years, with the most recent major renovation occurring in 2018 when Unit #4 received a complete kitchen remodel including new cabinets, countertops, sink, and appliances. Previous renovations include substantial work on Unit #3 in 2006 (owners' unit), which included electrical upgrades, lighting installation, and bathroom renovations, as well as various improvements across multiple units between 1998 and 2006 involving electrical, plumbing, and structural work including plywood shearwall installation and foundation replacement.

The building's maintenance history reveals several routine inspections by Housing Inspection Services, with the most recent in 2011 identifying several fire safety concerns that were promptly addressed, including fire extinguisher maintenance, smoke detector installation, and security improvements. While there was one minor fire incident (smoke or odor removal) recorded, no civilian injuries were reported. Recent activity in the surrounding area has been documented through 311 calls, primarily related to street cleaning and parking issues, with the most recent calls dating from late 2024. The property has shown consistent attention to maintenance and safety requirements, with all identified violations being addressed and resolved, and the building's recent history (2018 and onward) shows focus on unit-specific improvements rather than common area concerns.

Risk rating

How 301 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, 523 are predicted to be safer.
