Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 225 Brazil Avenue in the Excelsior neighborhood, owned by Jose Anthony and Brigidan Bog, is a 2-story flats/duplex structure built in 1908. The building's permit history shows minimal maintenance activity, with only one significant recorded improvement - a furnace replacement performed in June 2018, though this permit has since expired. The property has experienced recurring issues with sidewalk parking violations, particularly between 2022-2024, with multiple incidents involving various vehicles, including a Ford (license plate 56516R3) that was cited for violations in January 2024, and a Toyota that could not be located in November 2022. This pattern of enforcement continues into 2024, with cases being regularly addressed by parking enforcement officers, suggesting an ongoing challenge with parking compliance in the vicinity.

The building has experienced some infrastructure issues, including a sewage backup incident in February 2022 that required intervention from PUC Sewer Operations and was successfully resolved. There was also a complaint regarding unsafe Muni operation recorded in August 2022, though this was not directly related to the building itself. A general service request to SFMTA for parking enforcement was made in December 2021. It's worth noting that while there have been several enforcement actions and a sewage issue requiring attention, there are no records of tenant buyouts or significant code violations on file for this property.

Risk rating

How 225 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
79th percentile

Out of 337 buildings in this neighborhood, 71 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 70.8%
Moderate concern 16.2%
Severe concern 13.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
