Initial analysis

The 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 11 Leese St in Bernal Heights, owned by the Kuang Family 2013 Irrevoc T, was constructed in 1975 and has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues, with the most notable cluster occurring in August 2016. During this period, the building received multiple violations including problems with weather-proofing on siding, bathroom fan issues, damaged walls, non-compliant fire extinguishers, inadequate heating, appliance problems, floor covering issues, mold/mildew concerns, inadequate lighting, and plumbing violations. To address these violations, a completion permit was issued in September 2016 for various repairs including replacement of rear and left side building siding, water heater strapping, and repainting the front of the building, with an estimated cost of $10,000. The building underwent a no-heat complaint resolution process between August and October 2016, and there were also reports of carpet beetles and roof leaks during this period.

The property has been subject to routine housing inspections over the years, with records showing inspections in 1999, 2007, and 2011, and the complaints from August 2016 appear to be a systematic response to various building maintenance issues rather than isolated incidents. More recently, the building has experienced multiple parking-related issues, with seven documented incidents between 2019 and 2024 involving vehicles blocking driveways or parking illegally, with the most recent incidents occurring in December 2023 and July 2024. While these parking issues are not direct reflections of the building's condition, they do indicate ongoing challenges with parking availability in the area. The property has not received any building violations or major complaints since the 2016 incidents were resolved, suggesting improved compliance with building codes and regulations in recent years.

Risk rating

How 11 Leese 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, 485 are predicted to be safer.
