Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 24 Bessie Street in Bernal Heights is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1906, currently owned by the Emiko Christine Omori Trust. The building's maintenance records show attention to roofing maintenance, with two significant reroofing projects completed: one in 1989 and a more recent $15,000 project in 2021 that involved installation of new composition materials with appropriate fire ratings. Of particular concern are multiple recent sanitation issues, with six documented sewage backup incidents between October 2023 and October 2024, primarily involving 4-inch sewer vents. The building had previously exhibited termite issues in 1989, as evidenced by a repair permit, though there are no subsequent records of similar infestations. The property has experienced some typical urban challenges like parking violations and street cleaning needs, with incidents dating back to 2017, including one case of an abandoned vehicle that was towed in May 2017.

The most pressing concern for current and potential residents appears to be the pattern of sewage-related issues, with the most recent cluster of incidents in late 2024 suggesting an ongoing infrastructure challenge. While the building has undergone necessary maintenance such as roofing updates, the frequency of sewer-related incidents indicates a potentially systemic plumbing issue. The property's historical records suggest regular maintenance was performed during the 1980s, including termite damage repairs, though there are limited records of significant interventions in more recent decades aside from the 2021 roofing work.

Risk rating

How 24 Bessie 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
82th percentile

Out of 1276 buildings in this neighborhood, 230 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 83.5%
Moderate concern 11.5%
Severe concern 5.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
