Initial analysis

The property at 320 Woolsey Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in the Portola neighborhood, constructed in 1920 and classified as Flats & Duplex. The building's maintenance history includes two significant structural improvements: a reroofing project completed in 1991 and repairs to the outside stairs completed in 1988, both indicating attention to fundamental building safety and maintenance requirements.

The recent history of the property, particularly from 2023 to 2024, shows a notable pattern of parking-related issues in the vicinity, with multiple reports of illegal parking, driveway blocking, and sidewalk obstruction. Between July 2023 and September 2024, there were at least eight documented incidents of parking violations, with varying responses from enforcement officers, including some cases where officers were unable to locate the offending vehicles, and at least one instance where the violation was confirmed. There have also been several reports of street cleanliness issues, including instances of garbage and debris on the property grounds or public areas, with the most recent incidents occurring in August and November 2024, including reports of a refrigerator appliance and other loose debris. While these external environmental issues and parking challenges are noteworthy, it's important to note that the building's fundamental structure appears to have been maintained through the documented repairs from previous decades.

Risk rating

How 320 Woolsey 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
67th percentile

Out of 255 buildings in this neighborhood, 84 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.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 81.0%
Moderate concern 10.6%
Severe concern 8.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
