Initial analysis

The property at 191 Peralta Avenue in Bernal Heights is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1902 and currently owned by Kavita Goyal. The building's permit history reveals significant renovation activity, including a vertical addition completed in 1994 at a cost of $10,000, and prior to that, kitchen and bathroom remodeling with termite and dry rot repairs in 1993, though this particular permit ultimately expired. In 2020, unauthorized work was performed at the property, including window, door, and siding replacement at the rear of the building, which led to two building complaints filed in September 2020. These violations were eventually addressed, with the final inspection completed in October 2024, though this process included a period of monthly monitoring fees and a final warning letter issued in August 2022.

The building's recent history shows a pattern of parking-related issues in the surrounding area, with multiple reports of abandoned vehicles and parking violations recorded between 2022 and 2024. Three separate incidents of abandoned vehicles were reported in 2023 alone, and there was one instance of a vehicle blocking a driveway in March 2023 that resulted in a citation. Additionally, there were some infrastructure concerns in the vicinity, including a pavement defect reported in December 2022. While these external issues don't directly impact the building's safety or resident experience, they do provide context about the immediate neighborhood. The property has undergone various improvements over the years, most notably in 2020 with the installation of energy-efficient windows, despite the initial permit violation, and the completion of necessary repairs and inspections as of October 2024.

Risk rating

How 191 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, 1199 are predicted to be safer.
