Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1230 Russia Avenue in Excelsior, owned by Fred N & Jeannette Mandap, has a complex maintenance history spanning several decades. Built in 1925, this two-story flats and duplex structure has undergone various significant repairs, most notably a reroofing project completed in 2021 costing $3,600, following an earlier roofing work done in 1996. A substantial series of building violations and complaints were filed in October 2021, which included issues with water damage, damaged ceilings, backyard cleanliness, stucco weatherproofing, and security requirements for entry door viewers; these violations were subsequently abated by February 2022. Earlier maintenance issues include a 2010 complaint regarding ceiling and plumbing problems, and a serious plumbing incident in 1998 involving sewage issues that took nearly a year to resolve. More recent concerns have emerged in 2025, with multiple 311 calls regarding garbage and debris on the property, plus a report of graffiti, though these appear to be external rather than building-specific issues. The property has undergone necessary utility upgrades, including a gas houseline extension project completed in 2011 for both 1230 and 1232 Russia Avenue.

Risk rating

How 1230 Russia 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
