Initial analysis

The three-story, two-unit multi-family residential building at 162 Girard Street in San Francisco's Portola neighborhood was constructed in 1905 and is currently owned by Kwan & Rong Rong Leung Revo. The property has a documented history of maintenance and infrastructure issues, with the most recent concerns concentrated on the building's external elements. As of early 2025, there are open reports regarding a missing side sewer vent cover and a collapsed sidewalk. The property has experienced recurring sidewalk issues, with previous complaints in late 2024 about a defective and lifted sidewalk, though some of these cases were resolved or determined to be duplicates. There has also been a pattern of debris and garbage-related incidents in the vicinity, with multiple reports throughout 2024 regarding various types of waste requiring municipal intervention, including Christmas tree removal and general cleaning needs.

Historical maintenance records show attention to structural integrity, with a reroofing project completed in 2010 at a cost of $6,500 and dry rot repair work conducted in 1987. The building's planning records mention a related property (164 Girard Street) and describe two duplex buildings over garages with specific dimensions and bedroom configurations, though the developer information is marked as "None." A single fire-related incident is recorded, categorized as a false alarm with no civilian injuries. The property is listed in connection with three tenant buyouts at a nearby address (148 Felton Street), with one significant buyout of $39,000 involving three tenants in September 2019, though it's unclear how this relates directly to the Girard Street property.

Risk rating

How 162 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.
