Initial analysis

The property at 599 Moscow Street in the Excelsior neighborhood is a 2-story, 3-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1915, currently owned by the Suarez Lilia Trust. The building has undergone several significant structural and maintenance improvements over recent years, with the most recent being an issued permit in May 2024 for substantial foundation work ($60,000) to support existing framing and reduce load on retaining walls. In 2023, a complete kitchen and bathroom remodel was undertaken, with corresponding plumbing and electrical work completed. The building has a history of consistent maintenance, including multiple roofing projects dating back to 1991, though the 1991 roofing permit expired.

The property has experienced several building inspection matters in recent years, including complaints about unauthorized work in 2021 (fence construction), 2022, and water intrusion issues in the garage reported in March 2023. The site has generated numerous 311 calls in 2024, primarily related to parking violations (six documented instances of sidewalk parking, one blocking driveway), and some sanitation issues, including reports of debris and human waste. The property's parking situation appears to be an ongoing concern based on these recent reports. Notably, there was a tenant buyout transaction at 905 Russia Avenue (the address is slightly different from the primary building address) in August 2022 involving five tenants for $100,000, though it's unclear if this directly relates to the Moscow Street property.

Risk rating

How 599 Moscow 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
47th percentile

Out of 337 buildings in this neighborhood, 179 are predicted to be safer.
