Initial analysis

Located in San Francisco's Portola neighborhood, 424-426 Girard Street is a one-story, two-unit multi-family residential building owned by Peng Xiaoping and constructed in 1978. The building's maintenance record shows only one significant structural improvement, documented in March 2011, when the property underwent exterior maintenance with the replacement of approximately 150 square feet of wood siding at the rear, at a cost of $1,000.

The most notable issue facing this property appears to be a persistent pattern of parking violations, particularly involving vehicles parking on the sidewalk. Between March 2023 and the present, there have been multiple reports of illegal parking, with at least two citations issued (including one to a Toyota Sienna in March 2023 and another to a Lexus LS 460 in July 2022), though enforcement officers were unable to locate vehicles in several other instances. The building's surroundings have experienced typical urban maintenance issues, including reports of abandoned electronics (July 2024) and graffiti (October 2024) on public property, both of which were resolved through proper channels. Seasonal cleanup matters have been addressed promptly, such as the Christmas tree pickup in January 2023. While the building's permit history is minimal, the consistent resolution of street-related issues suggests regular engagement with city services, though the frequency of parking violations indicates an ongoing challenge in the immediate vicinity.

Risk rating

How 424-426 Girard 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.
