Initial analysis

301 Bocana Street is a 6-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building located in Bernal Heights, owned by Woods Family Investments LP and constructed in 1961. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and repair projects over the past decades, with the most recent major work occurring in 2016, including a $6,000 reroofing project and window replacements in the commercial storefront. Between 2007-2010, the building experienced multiple structural and safety issues, including problems with stairs, handrails, and beams that required several repairs and compliance with notices of violation. The building faced significant heating and electrical system challenges in 2009-2010, with multiple complaints about non-functioning heating units and electrical problems, though these issues appear to have been addressed through subsequent repairs and permit work.

The property had a notable cluster of building violation complaints in 2000, involving issues with water damage, mold, garbage disposal, plumbing, and interior surfaces, all of which were officially abated by January 2001. More recent history shows some ongoing maintenance needs, as evidenced by 311 calls in 2024 regarding general cleaning, garbage and debris, and a water leak involving a fire hydrant. Two fire-related complaints in 2013 regarding blocked exits were promptly corrected. The building's systems have seen various updates and replacements over the years, including electrical conversions in 2005, gas valve and wall furnace replacements in 2010, and multiple instances of roof work, with the last reroofing project completed in 2009. While the property has experienced periodic maintenance issues, there have been no active violations or serious safety concerns reported in recent years, with all known historical issues having been addressed through appropriate repairs or improvements.

Risk rating

How 301 Bocana 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
