Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 299 Nevada Street in Bernal Heights, owned by James G and Susan R Degener, is a 2-story flats/duplex structure dating back to 1908. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, including a major plumbing upgrade in February 2020 when a new boiler was installed on the Jarboe Street side, and substantial alterations to the second floor in 1992 that included both interior modifications and the rebuilding of a 2-story porch with window additions. An expired permit from 1987 indicates there was an attempt to perform horizontal additions with a closet bay at the second story, though this work appears to have not been completed.

The most recent maintenance issue of note was a sewage back-up incident from the side sewer vent in October 2024, which was promptly addressed by PUC - Sewer Operations. The property has experienced recurring issues with illegal parking and driveway blocking, particularly notable in the summer of 2024 with multiple citations issued. There have been several street cleaning and sanitation-related calls in 2023-2024, including reports of garbage, debris, and one instance of human or animal waste. A tenant buyout was recorded in July 2024 for the neighboring address of 275 Nevada Street, involving a payment of $23,000 to one tenant. The building's permit and violation history suggests regular maintenance and upgrading of facilities, though the frequency of parking enforcement calls indicates ongoing challenges with street parking in the area.

Risk rating

How 299 Nevada 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
65th percentile

Out of 1276 buildings in this neighborhood, 447 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.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

Building age

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 68.4%
Moderate concern 20.6%
Severe concern 11.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
