Initial analysis

The property at 1071-1073 Girard Street in Visitacion Valley is a two-story, two-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1978, currently owned by the Victor Belfor Revocable Living Trust. The building's maintenance history reveals several significant events, with the most pressing concern being an active complaint filed in May 2017 regarding unauthorized work beyond the scope of a permit from April 2016, which involved dry rot repair and vinyl siding work. This follows a pattern of unpermitted modifications observed in 2015-2016, when multiple reports were filed regarding unauthorized remodeling across both floors, window replacements, and potentially improper electrical and plumbing work. The building has undergone regular maintenance over the years, including window replacements (2011), dry rot repairs (1996, 2016), and water heater replacement (2009), though some permits have expired without completion verification.

Recent activity around the property between late 2024 and early 2025 shows a pattern of street-related issues, including multiple reports of abandoned vehicles and driveway blocking, suggesting possible parking challenges in the area. While some of these street-related issues have been promptly addressed by authorities (resulting in citations or vehicle removal), they represent the building's most recent environmental context. The property's historical maintenance record shows attention to building upkeep, with improvements such as fire-rated windows installation in 2016 to address safety requirements, though the outstanding complaint regarding unauthorized modifications remains a significant concern.

Risk rating

How 1071-1073 Girard 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.
