Initial analysis

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 1519 York Street in Bernal Heights is a one-story flats and duplex structure built in 1900, currently owned by Ian Pham Hunt and Nymo M. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most recent major work being a window replacement project in 2019 that involved upgrading six windows from wood to Fibrex wood composite materials, with a cost of $26,000. This followed earlier maintenance work including a reroofing project in 2017 ($6,000) and more substantial structural work in 1983 which included wall repairs and roofing replacement.

The building's external environment has experienced recurring issues with parking violations, particularly regarding driveway blocking, with five documented incidents between 2013 and 2024, three of which resulted in citations being issued. There were also three instances of abandoned vehicles reported near the property between 2015 and 2018, though in most cases the vehicles were gone by the time authorities arrived. A single incident of graffiti was reported in 2016, which was promptly addressed by Recology. On the infrastructure side, there was one documented water-related issue in 2011, though records indicate it was resolved. The property's maintenance history suggests regular upkeep, with the most significant exterior improvements occurring in recent years focusing on window and roof maintenance.

Risk rating

How 1519 York 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.
