Initial analysis

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 205-207 Peabody Street in Visitacion Valley, owned by Berhane Zeray and Kifle Mihre, was constructed in 1950 and has experienced several significant events throughout its history. Most notably, the building suffered fire damage in 2002 requiring substantial repairs costing over $113,000, followed by additional rewiring work in 2010. The property has undergone various fire safety improvements, with the most recent being a filed fire alarm upgrade in February 2024 to comply with current regulations. A series of fire safety violations were recorded between 2001 and 2011, primarily related to fire extinguisher maintenance and egress obstructions, though all were promptly abated. The building's electrical systems have received attention over the years, with complete rewiring of a two-bedroom unit in 2002 and garage rewiring in 2010. While there was one smoke detector activation incident recorded (believed to be malfunction), no civilian injuries were reported.

In recent months, there has been a notable increase in street-level maintenance concerns, with ten sanitation-related 311 calls recorded between September and November 2024, primarily regarding garbage and debris. These cases were all resolved by city services, including both Recology and Public Works. The building's fire safety systems, including alarms and extinguishers, have undergone regular maintenance and upgrades, with the property currently in the process of further improvements to meet contemporary safety standards as evidenced by the 2024 fire alarm upgrade permit.

Risk rating

How 205-207 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.
