Initial analysis

The Brown-paik Family Revocable Trust owns this two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located at 173-175 Peralta Avenue in Bernal Heights, which was constructed in 1911. The property has undergone significant and consistent improvements over recent years, with the most recent work completed in 2024 including reroofing and electrical upgrades. Major renovations have included a comprehensive kitchen remodel in 2022 ($45,000), bathroom updates in 2023 ($20,000), and substantial electrical improvements including a 400-amp service upgrade in 2021. The building has received thorough maintenance attention, including plumbing upgrades such as valve replacements and fixture installations, drywall work, and the installation of additional outlets and circuits throughout the property.

Historical records indicate earlier repairs in the 1980s addressed termite damage and dry rot issues.

The surrounding area has experienced various 311 calls primarily related to street maintenance and abandoned vehicles, with most cases being resolved quickly or showing no action required. The property's documented improvements and maintenance record suggest ongoing attention to building upkeep and modernization, with no recent safety concerns or significant resident experience issues recorded in the available data.

Risk rating

How 173-175 Peralta 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, 217 are predicted to be safer.
