Initial analysis

The three-unit multi-family residential building located at 320 Brazil Avenue in the Excelsior neighborhood was built in 1988 and is currently owned by the Picazo Family Trust. The property has experienced significant recent water damage, with major restoration work completed in September 2023 costing approximately $30,000, including drywall, flooring, cabinets, and plumbing repairs in affected units. This restoration work also required the replacement of electrical fixtures, including five light fixtures, 20 receptacles, and 10 switches, as well as the addition of 16 recessed can lights to an existing circuit. The building underwent vertical and horizontal extension work in 1987, prior to its completion.

The property has a history of compliance inspections, with six routine inspections conducted between 1999 and 2011 by Housing Inspection Services. While several violations were recorded in 2000-2004 related to fire safety and security requirements (including fire extinguisher tagging, storage issues, smoke detector placement, and apartment numbering), all these violations were properly abated by December 2000. The building's maintenance history shows regular oversight and prompt attention to violations when they occurred. Recent concerns have primarily been related to sidewalk parking issues, with three enforcement calls recorded between 2021 and 2022, though in each case, responding officers were unable to locate the reported vehicles.

Risk rating

How 320 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
