Initial analysis

The two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 680 Brazil Ave in the Excelsior neighborhood was constructed in 1964 and is currently owned by Li Dabiao & Wang Miaoying. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade, with major renovations completed in 2014-2015 including comprehensive upgrades to Units #2 and #3, involving kitchen and bathroom remodels, electrical system improvements, and plumbing updates totaling approximately $28,000. The building's history includes some notable concerns that have since been resolved, particularly a serious incident in 2011 involving an oven explosion and furnace safety issues, along with mold concerns around metal window sills. All three units received timely attention through renovations, with the building continuing to address maintenance needs, including a recent street space permit issued in 2015.

The property has undergone regular inspections and improvements over the years, with violations recorded in 2010-2011 related to fire safety (fire extinguisher maintenance) and security (door locks and peep viewer installation) - all of which were resolved by July 2013. A lead paint complaint was filed in Unit #1 in September 2014, and a heating system issue was reported in December 2012, both of which were marked as not active after being addressed. Routine inspections have been conducted periodically since 1999, with the most recent documented improvements focusing on unit upgrades rather than building-wide issues. While recent 311 calls from 2023-2024 primarily relate to parking concerns on the street, these are external to the building itself and do not reflect on the property's internal conditions.

Risk rating

How 680 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
