Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 500-502 Andover Street in Bernal Heights, owned by the Reisinger Family Living Trust, has undergone several significant renovations since its construction in 1963. Most recently, in 2017, considerable work was performed on the lower unit (500 Andover), including a bathroom remodeling project to convert one bathroom into two, along with substantial exterior improvements involving rear siding replacement, insulation upgrades, and the installation of new patio doors, completed at a cost of approximately $24,000. Earlier maintenance records show attention to structural integrity, with repairs documented in 2015 addressing dry rot and termite damage on the south wall, and a roof replacement project noted in 1989. The building's heating systems were updated in 2007 with the installation of two new forced air gas furnaces.

Of particular note is a building complaint filed in October 2020 regarding unsafe roofing removal practices by a contractor, although this complaint is currently listed as not active. The property has experienced recurring issues with parking violations in the vicinity, with multiple citations issued between July and December 2024, along with reports of abandoned vehicles near the property. A tree maintenance matter involving a dead tree was reported in July 2024 and remains open, along with a general cleaning request from February 2024 concerning loose garbage. While these external issues may affect the immediate surroundings of the building, they appear to be primarily neighborhood-related concerns rather than direct building management issues.

Risk rating

How 500-502 Andover 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, 1008 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.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.

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.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 53.6%
Moderate concern 33.3%
Severe concern 13.0%
