Initial analysis

The three-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 586 Vienna Street in the Excelsior neighborhood, owned by the Polly Lai Shiu Trust, was constructed in 1968 and has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the years. Most notably, the building had a sewer line and house trap replacement completed in 2012 and a third-floor decking repair in 2009, while earlier improvements included a window retrofit in 2002 and a reroofing project in 1997. The building has been subject to multiple routine housing inspections, with several violations recorded between 2001 and 2009, including security and safety issues such as the need for self-closing doors, proper fire safety equipment, and security features like viewers for entry doors. All these violations were addressed and officially abated, with the last known housing inspection occurring in 2009.

The property has experienced various maintenance and security-related issues over its history, with the most recent concerns primarily involving external elements such as the street area around the building. Between 2022 and 2025, there have been multiple reports of parking violations, including several instances of vehicles parking on sidewalks, with citations issued in some cases. Two instances of abandoned vehicles were reported, though in both cases, the vehicles were gone when authorities arrived. Regular street and sidewalk cleaning requests were processed in 2023, indicating ongoing attention to exterior maintenance. While the building has a documented history of safety and maintenance violations, it is notable that there have been no recorded housing violations in the past 14 years, suggesting improved compliance with safety and building codes.

Risk rating

How 586 Vienna 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
