Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 530-532 Visitacion Avenue, located in San Francisco's Visitacion Valley neighborhood, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1929 and currently owned by John L Tusch. The property has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, including a voluntary structural strengthening project in 2019 valued at $100,000, window replacements in 2017-2018 involving six windows in two bays and two additional windows in closet and bathroom areas, and the installation of a new exterior flue vent stack in 2018. Historical records show earlier maintenance work including roofing projects in 1990 and 2007, and repairs to dry rotted panels and rim joists in 1992.

The most notable recent activity associated with the property involves a series of parking enforcement incidents in early 2025, with multiple citations issued for parking violations including sidewalk parking and driveway blockages between January 1 and January 12, 2025. These incidents suggest recurring issues with parking compliance in the immediate vicinity of the building, though they do not directly reflect on the building's condition or management. The property has maintained an active record of maintenance and improvements, with no documented tenant buyouts or planning code complaints, and all recent permitted work has been properly completed or marked as resolved.

Risk rating

How 530-532 Visitacion 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.

Neighborhood percentile
