Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 247 Peabody Street in Visitacion Valley is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1950, currently owned by William Wei and Angela Chu Re. The building's records show minimal permitted improvements, with only one historical permit on file from 1986 for the installation of aluminum windows, which has since expired.

The property's incident history primarily consists of street-related service calls, with the most recent activity occurring between 2020 and 2022. The area experienced several municipal maintenance issues, including multiple reports of mechanical street sweeping failures in November 2021 and general cleaning needs involving loose garbage in October 2022, all of which were resolved by the Department of Public Works. There were also three documented instances of double parking violations between 2020 and 2021, though these were recorded primarily for data collection purposes rather than direct enforcement actions. A customer callback to the Department of Public Works regarding a street-related issue was logged in October 2016, though notable improvements were reported with no television left in front of the location. While these incidents reflect some local neighborhood challenges, they primarily involve street conditions and parking issues rather than any specific concerns about the building's structure or living conditions.

Risk rating

How 247 Peabody 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.
