Initial analysis

The two-unit, two-story residential building at 406-408 Precita Avenue in Bernal Heights, owned by Deborah G. Miller, was constructed in 1900 and has undergone several significant updates over its lifetime. Historical improvements include completed reroofing work in 1989 and the installation of a solar panel system in 2011, consisting of 5 roof-mounted PV modules with a total output of 1.014 kW. A notable incident occurred in 2017 when the property was cited for illegal short-term rentals through Airbnb and VRBO, with minimum stay requirements being violated; this violation was subsequently addressed and officially abated.

The building has been the subject of multiple municipal service calls in recent years, particularly between 2022-2025, with the majority relating to abandoned vehicle reports - nine separate incidents were recorded between October 2022 and January 2025, though all were resolved with vehicles either being towed or found to be gone upon inspection. Other service calls include a report of an overflowing city garbage can in August 2023 and a single tree-related complaint in January 2023 that was cancelled. The frequency of abandoned vehicle reports in the immediate vicinity suggests ongoing parking challenges in the area, though these incidents do not directly impact building safety or maintenance. The property itself appears to have maintained compliance with building codes and regulations since the resolution of the short-term rental violation, with no recent permit activity or safety concerns noted in the available records.

Risk rating

How 406-408 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, 115 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 (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.

Neighborhood location

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 85.1%
Moderate concern 9.6%
Severe concern 5.3%
