Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 321-323 Russia Avenue in the Excelsior neighborhood, owned by Leo Joseph Bragagnolo, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1942. The property has undergone several maintenance and improvement projects over the years, including a reroofing completed in 1993 and more recently, the issuance of a building permit in June 2024 for repairs to wood decks valued at $4,000. Historical permits indicate work related to street space and sidewalk maintenance in 2004 and 2009, though these are relatively minor in nature.

The building has experienced some tenant-related issues in recent years, most notably a complaint filed in December 2024 regarding encroachment of blackberry bushes disrupting tenant peace, which remains in an inactive status as of the last update. The property has had multiple 311 calls related to parking violations and street cleaning between 2019 and 2024, though these are generally external issues not directly impacting building conditions. A significant event occurred in March 2024 when tenant buyouts were recorded for 323 Russia Avenue, with compensation of $50,000 paid to two tenants, though no buyout activity is listed for 321 Russia Avenue. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, though the recent deck repair permit suggests ongoing attention to the building's infrastructure is being maintained by the current ownership.

Risk rating

How 321-323 Russia 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.
