Initial analysis

The two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building at 345 Brazil Avenue in the Excelsior neighborhood, built in 1923 and currently owned by the Gor Sit Ying Revoc Trust, has a documented history of maintenance and environmental issues in recent months. The only building permit on record is from 1992 for aluminum window installation, which has since expired. Between December 2024 and January 2025, there has been a notable pattern of street cleaning and environmental maintenance issues in the immediate vicinity of the property. These include multiple reports of garbage and debris (including mattresses, loose garbage, and furniture) that were generally resolved by city services, though one incident was recorded involving a hazardous battery. There was also a series of parking-related complaints, particularly regarding reports of abandoned vehicles, though all these cases were closed with determination that the vehicles were not abandoned, typically because they moved during weekly street cleaning. An incident involving public graffiti on a pole was reported and resolved in December 2024. While these issues primarily pertain to the street and sidewalk areas rather than the building itself, they do indicate ongoing challenges with waste management and parking enforcement in the immediate neighborhood.

Risk rating

How 345 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

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.

Property class: apartment building

Apartment building — this property classification influences expected violation rates.

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 49.4%
Moderate concern 32.8%
Severe concern 17.8%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
