Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 136-138 Burrows Street in San Francisco's Portola neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 2004, currently owned by Ta Tina. The building's permit history is minimal, with only one street space permit issued in 2009 valued at $1.00. However, there has been a significant cluster of maintenance and cleanliness issues in the vicinity of the property over the past year, particularly in late 2024 through early 2025. This period saw multiple reports through the city's 311 system regarding garbage and debris on the street and sidewalk, with at least eight incidents of loose garbage, debris, and yard waste requiring attention from Public Works - Street and Environmental Services. Four of these cases were resolved with no work needed, while others involved bagged or boxed garbage that had been abandoned, according to Recology.

Additional incidents during this period included a report of a missing side sewer vent cover, which was determined to be a duplicate case, and a singular instance of non-offensive graffiti on a pole that was resolved. While most of these cases were classified as non-offensive and were successfully resolved by city services, the frequency of reports suggests ongoing challenges with street cleanliness in the immediate area. The building itself appears to have maintained compliance with housing regulations, as no housing-related complaints or violations have been recorded in the available data.

Risk rating

How 136-138 Burrows 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.

Out of 255 buildings in this neighborhood, 41 are predicted to be safer.
