Initial analysis

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 115 Girard St in the Portola neighborhood, owned by Ung Phuc Sieng & Pang Lian, has a documented history of maintenance issues and building code violations dating back to the 1980s. The 1905 structure, classified as a one-story apartment dwelling, experienced significant fire damage in 1989 requiring stair removal and repainting work, and underwent termite and dry rot repairs in 1986. A notable housing violation was reported in 1998 regarding an illegally constructed basement unit with low ceiling height and unpermitted modifications to a rear bedroom, though this complaint was marked as not active by June 1998. More recently, the property has generated multiple reports of garbage and debris issues throughout late 2024 and early 2025, with eight separate incident reports between October 2024 and January 2025, all of which were resolved by city services. Additional concerns include a hoarding complaint from June to November 2018 when access to the building was not granted for inspection, and a currently open curb defect complaint filed in October 2024. This building's maintenance history suggests periodic upkeep work has been necessary, particularly concerning structural and safety matters, though many recent issues appear to be centered around exterior cleanliness and streetscape concerns rather than interior habitability.

Risk rating

How 115 Girard 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.
