Initial analysis

The 4-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 300 Prague Street in the Excelsior neighborhood, owned by Edie Wong, has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects since its construction in 1953. Most recently, in 2023, the property addressed some urgent issues by completing both reroofing work (costing $36,750) and plywood installation to comply with prior violation orders (costing $8,250). These repairs followed a February 2023 incident where a section of the roof was reported blown off. The building has maintained a regular schedule of maintenance, including a complete reroofing project in 2020 ($24,000) and earlier improvements such as window replacements in 2001 (15 windows converted to insulated vinyl) and multiple roofing projects in the late 1980s.

The building has experienced several compliance issues over its history, with the most notable cluster occurring in 2001 when multiple violations were documented regarding security, stairs, fire safety (including combustible storage and egress obstruction), and gas meter requirements - all of which were abated by June 2001. In 2018, a routine inspection revealed rodent infestation and smoke detector issues, while there was also an investigation in 2017 regarding possible unauthorized units in the garage. Recent months (September-December 2024) have seen multiple reports of garbage and debris issues near the property, though these appear to be street-related matters rather than building-specific problems. The property has generally shown responsiveness to maintenance needs, with most violations promptly addressed through completed work permits and inspections.

Risk rating

How 300 Prague 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
96th percentile

Out of 337 buildings in this neighborhood, 13 are predicted to be safer.
