Initial analysis

The property at 207-211 Banks Street in Bernal Heights is a three-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1915, currently owned by Peter Don Mar. The building has undergone several significant upgrades and inspections over the years, including a 2005 electrical service upgrade that converted the system to underground 200-amp three-meter service, and three routine Housing Inspection Services inspections in 1999 and 2007. Of particular note is a 40-foot antenna installation that was reported in July 2016, which prompted inspections by both the Electrical Inspection Division and Planning Department, with records showing it was officially noted as exceeding permitted height.

The building's recent history shows a mix of maintenance and enforcement activities in the surrounding area, including multiple reports of abandoned vehicles (five such reports between March and November 2024), though these are street-related issues rather than building concerns. There were two street cleaning-related inspections in October 2021 that found the area to be clean, and a plumbing-related issue reported to the PUC Water Department in March 2022. A combustible materials complaint from November 2017 was resolved within five days with conditions corrected. The building's permit history includes a 1984 permit whose purpose is not specified in the available data.

Risk rating

How 207-211 Banks 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
35th percentile

Out of 1276 buildings in this neighborhood, 829 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.

Building age

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 52.3%
Moderate concern 26.4%
Severe concern 21.3%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
