Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 107 Brazil Ave in the Excelsior neighborhood, owned by Francisco Jose Gonzalez, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1915. The property has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over the years, with the most notable being a "garage conversion" situation in 2006-2007 where an illegal dwelling unit was created in the garage space, including an unauthorized kitchen and bathroom installation. This violation led to official enforcement action, with notices of violation issued in February and March 2006, and the matter was ultimately abated by February 2007 following the removal of the unauthorized improvements.

The building has undergone various legitimate improvements and maintenance work over the years, including a $10,000 exterior renovation in 2013 involving painting, stucco repair, and window replacement, as well as roof work in 2006 costing $4,500. More recent building improvements include the installation of a new hallway to the backyard in 2015 and replacement of three fire doors in the garage in 2014. The property has also been subject to multiple 311 calls regarding parking violations, with the most recent being a series of sidewalk parking complaints in 2023-2024 involving a black Nissan sedan, which resulted in multiple citations.

Risk rating

How 107 Brazil Ave'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

Out of 337 buildings in this neighborhood, 172 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 70.5%
Moderate concern 17.0%
Severe concern 12.5%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
