Initial analysis

The 2-unit residential building at 1312 Brussels Street in Visitacion Valley, owned by Jose Almendarez Jr., has experienced several significant incidents over the past year. Most notably, there was a sewage backup issue from a side sewer vent in September 2024, though this was eventually resolved. The property has also faced various street-related challenges, including hazardous materials requiring attention in February 2024, though this was separately addressed. Multiple cases regarding street cleaning and loose garbage were documented in late 2023, suggesting ongoing maintenance concerns in the immediate vicinity. Prior to the current owner, pay attention to the records from 1280 Brussels Street in 2015-2016, which show multiple tenant buyouts of $16,560 each involving five tenants, indicating possible previous tenant turnover patterns in the area. The building has maintained a historical structure typical of its 1915 construction date, comprising two stories and classified as a flats and duplex-style building. While there have been various municipal service calls and responses, no serious safety incidents or fire-related events have been recorded in recent history, though a motor vehicle accident with no injuries was noted in an unrelated incident near the address.

Risk rating

How 1312 Brussels 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
