Initial analysis

The property at 65-67 Montezuma Street in Bernal Heights is a three-story, two-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Elizabeth A. Cretara. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past 35 years, with the most recent major work including a 2013 rear deck reinforcement project costing $1,160, and substantial electrical and plumbing upgrades in 2010 consisting of partial kitchen rewiring and water heater installation. The property has a history of various maintenance and improvement work in the late 1980s, including bathroom remodeling, kitchen renovations, reroofing, termite repairs, and chimney work, though some of these permits were either completed or cancelled.

Recent records from 2021-2024 show multiple reports of abandoned vehicles and parking violations in the vicinity, with various cases being resolved by enforcement agencies. There is an open case from April 2022 regarding tree root damage to sewer infrastructure, which remains unresolved. The property was involved in a closed variance request concerning parking space requirements in the Bernal Heights SUD, with Elizabeth Cretara listed as the developer seeking approval to remove one required parking space, though the status is noted as closed and approved. Historical records indicate various improvements to the building, including basement window replacement and rear door replacement in 1992, though some permits from that period are no longer traceable in the current system.

Risk rating

How 65-67 Montezuma 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

Out of 1276 buildings in this neighborhood, 268 are predicted to be safer.

12-Month severity forecast

Moderate concern 10.6%
Severe concern 6.1%
