Initial analysis

The property at 1200-1202 Russia Avenue is a single-story, two-unit multi-family residential building located in the Excelsior neighborhood, constructed in 1960 and currently owned by Simon Gi Voong and Jie Liang. The building has undergone several significant renovations and maintenance work over the years, including a substantial kitchen remodel attempt in 2016 (which was ultimately cancelled), the installation of a solar panel system in 2016 (completed), and a complete reroofing project in 2006 (completed). Of particular note is a serious fire incident that occurred in 2001, requiring $77,500 in repairs to restore the building to its original floor plan and finishes. Historical improvements include the installation of eight aluminum windows in 1992 and another roofing project in 1991.

The building and its immediate vicinity have experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent months, with eight separate reports of garbage and debris between October 2024 and January 2025, often involving furniture and other items requiring removal from the premises. Several parking enforcement requests were filed between November 2024 and January 2025, two of which specifically concerned driveway blocking. A 2010 fire complaint regarding weeds and grass was promptly resolved the same day. While the property's maintenance history shows regular upkeep and improvements, the recent cluster of waste management and parking issues in the surrounding area may indicate ongoing challenges with street maintenance and enforcement in the immediate vicinity.

Risk rating

How 1200-1202 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.
