Initial analysis

The property at 300 Brazil Avenue is a 2-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building with retail space, built in 1908 and currently owned by the Xenia S Villamejor Trust. The building has experienced several notable issues over its history, with the most recent concern being a July 2023 violation regarding unpermitted garage siding work that resulted in a Notice of Violation (NOV) and subsequent repair permit in August 2023. This incident was preceded by significant complaints from a neighbor regarding unauthorized construction work on the garage, including concerns about the impact on property lines, safety hazards, and water damage to their unit, which were documented in July 2023 and remain active.

The property has a concerning history of safety and compliance issues, including a 2005 violation related to inadequate egress and interior construction problems that were quickly resolved, and a 1997 investigation into possible illegal units that was also promptly addressed. More recently, between June 2024 and January 2025, there have been numerous parking enforcement requests for violations including sidewalk parking and driveway blockages, indicating ongoing access issues in the vicinity. Environmental concerns have also been documented, with multiple reports of garbage and debris on or near the property throughout 2024, though these were generally addressed by municipal services. The property is classified as a "Flat & Store" with multiple residential units, and while planning records indicate some compliance with siding replacement requirements, the building's permit and violation history suggests ongoing maintenance and compliance monitoring needs.

Risk rating

How 300 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.
