Initial analysis

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 471 Justin Drive in Bernal Heights was constructed in 1941 and is currently owned by Ana T. Novoa. The building's maintenance record shows limited major work, with the most significant being a complete reroofing project conducted in 1989. The property has experienced several maintenance and safety-related issues in recent months, with a notable cluster of sanitation problems occurring in late 2024, including multiple reports of garbage and debris (both bagged and loose), some of which required intervention from various city agencies. There are also two open pavement defect issues reported in December 2024 that require attention. The building's history includes two documented instances of vegetation-related violations - one in 2005 and another in 2022 - though these appear to have been resolved.

The surrounding area has experienced several urban maintenance challenges in recent months, with multiple 311 calls relating to street cleaning, debris removal, and sidewalk maintenance. Notably, there was one instance of an abandoned vehicle that was towed due to expired registration in December 2024. While there are no immediate safety concerns reported for the building itself as of October 2023, the property is located in an area with ongoing street maintenance and sanitation issues that have required regular intervention from city services. A tenant buyout record shows a significant event at a nearby address (225 Genebern Way) in July 2016, involving seven tenants and a buyout amount of $18,000, though this is not directly related to the current property under analysis.

Risk rating

How 471 Justin Dr'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
67th percentile

Out of 1276 buildings in this neighborhood, 421 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 76.7%
Moderate concern 15.2%
Severe concern 8.1%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
