Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 154-156 Maynard Street in the Excelsior neighborhood, owned by Kuang Jian Min, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1909. The property has experienced recurring sewage issues, with three documented sewer discharge incidents from side sewer vents, including two cases within a week of each other in late December 2024 and early January 2025, which were resolved by PUC - Sewer Operations. The building's maintenance history shows some attention to structural elements, with documented repairs including sidewalk maintenance in 2009 and stair repairs due to dry rot in 1987, though the latter permit expired without completion.

The property has faced numerous parking-related challenges in recent months, particularly between October 2024 and December 2024, with at least seven documented cases of driveway blocking and sidewalk parking, resulting in several citations issued by MTA - Parking Enforcement. Additionally, there were some exterior maintenance concerns noted in 2024, including issues with garbage and debris, though no action was deemed necessary by the responding department. Prior to the recent parking issues, the building experienced several fire complaints between 2014 and 2017, all of which were either found to have no merit or resulted in corrective action being taken, particularly regarding weed and grass conditions which were promptly addressed in 2014 and 2015.

Risk rating

How 154-156 Maynard 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
