Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 363 Bocana Street in Bernal Heights, owned by the Lama Family Ltd Partnership, was constructed in 1981 as a three-story flats and duplex structure. The property has undergone several significant modifications and faced regulatory challenges over the past decade. Most notably, in 2013, the building was found to be operating as an unpermitted R-2 three-unit apartment building, with unauthorized modifications including an illegal ground floor unit, external stairway, and non-permitted deck construction. This violation prompted several permit applications for legalization, including 201310028318 (which was issued) and 201509237851 (which was cancelled). In 2015, the property underwent substantial renovations including bathroom and kitchen remodeling work across both units, with completed permits for plumbing (PP20150930391) and electrical work (E201509301890).

The building's more recent history shows ongoing maintenance and compliance efforts, including roofing work completed in 2012 and a successful resolution to the 2013 code violations through approved permits recorded in 2016 (NSR #2016K184431). However, there remains a record of past resident concerns, including a 2015 complaint about hazardous construction conditions during tile work in the yard, though this was subsequently marked as not active. In terms of infrastructure maintenance, the property has generated multiple recent 311 calls (in 2024) primarily related to parking issues and garbage concerns, though these are external to the building itself. A fire incident related to smoke or odor removal was recorded with no civilian injuries reported, though the specific date and circumstances were not provided in the records.

Risk rating

How 363 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

Out of 1276 buildings in this neighborhood, 855 are predicted to be safer.
