Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 811 Visitacion Avenue, a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1906 and currently owned by Huang Wenbang, has undergone minimal documented interior improvements in recent years, with the most significant being a $10,000 kitchen renovation and window replacement project at the rear of the property in March 2021. The building's maintenance history includes a completed reroofing project from 1997.

The property and its immediate vicinity experienced several infrastructure and maintenance issues in late 2024 through early 2025, including multiple incidents of garbage and debris requiring municipal intervention, some minor graffiti incidents, and a report of curb damage in December 2024. There were also two parking enforcement requests related to sidewalk parking, though officers were unable to validate the reported violations. Of particular note is the building's tenant buyout history: in November 2020, three tenants received $48,000 in buyout compensation, and the property was previously involved in another significant buyout transaction in March 2021, this time concerning two tenants at 820 Visitacion Avenue for $70,000. Prior to these, two separate buyouts occurred at 869 Rutland Street in early 2016, totaling $36,000 for three tenants. While the age of the building and its limited renovation history suggest careful maintenance practices, the recent spate of environmental cleanliness issues in the vicinity may warrant attention.

Risk rating

How 811 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
39th percentile

Out of 214 buildings in this neighborhood, 131 are predicted to be safer.
