Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 604-606 Peralta Avenue in Bernal Heights, owned by Jear Lillian C Revocable Trust, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1959. The property's maintenance and improvements over time are notable, with significant work completed in 2004 including a kitchen remodel on the top floor ($15,000), repairs to dry rot damaged decking and stairs ($4,500), and electrical upgrades (though some electrical permits expired). More substantial improvements were made in 2009 with the installation of two new furnaces with ductwork. The building's infrastructure work includes a completed 2003 underground electrical conversion to 200-amp service, though there is record of an expired electrical permit from 1990 for reroofing work.

Recent developments on the property have primarily involved external infrastructure issues, particularly concerning the sidewalk, with a report of tree root damage in early 2025 and a collapsed sidewalk report in May 2024 that remains open. The property has experienced several parking-related incidents in 2024, including multiple reports of blocked driveways and sidewalk parking violations, though most were resolved either through officer response or lack of enforcement feasibility. There was one building-related complaint regarding unpermitted construction in the garage in March 2004, which was addressed promptly. The building's maintenance history suggests regular upkeep, with particular attention paid to critical systems like roofing, heating, and electrical infrastructure over the years.

Risk rating

How 604-606 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.
