Initial analysis

The property at 390 Edinburgh St in the Excelsior neighborhood is a one-story, four-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1955, currently owned by the Cassidy Family Trust. The building has undergone two documented reroofing projects, one in 1995 and another in 2001, both of which are now expired permits. A significant routine inspection conducted in 2004 revealed multiple violations, including fire safety concerns regarding combustible storage in the garage and security issues related to apartment identification numbers. These violations were resolved by February 2005 following appropriate notifications and warnings. The building has a history of regular housing inspections, with records from 1999 to 2008 showing routine evaluations by Housing Inspection Services.

More recently, between November 2024 and January 2025, there has been a notable pattern of garbage and debris issues reported through 311 calls, with multiple incidents involving abandoned items such as furniture, mattresses, and various types of garbage. A total of ten such reports were filed during this period, all of which were marked as resolved, though some were listed as "not out" or "insufficient information provided." A planning record from 2018 indicates a DPW referral related to the property, involving developer Joseph Camicia and ExteNet, which was closed and approved. While the building's documented history shows past compliance issues, these have been addressed, and the property has maintained regular inspection routines, though the recent clustering of debris-related reports may warrant attention to maintenance practices in the area surrounding the building.

Risk rating

How 390 Edinburgh 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.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 337 buildings in this neighborhood, 283 are predicted to be safer.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Neighborhood location
