Initial analysis

The two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 6-8 Pueblo Street in Visitacion Valley, owned by Thomas Spencer J Trustee Of and constructed in 1947, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past three decades. Most recently, between 2018 and 2019, there were multiple complaints regarding basic utilities and maintenance problems, including lack of hot water, heating issues, water leaks, and bathroom tile deterioration. These issues were somewhat addressed in subsequent repairs, such as subfloor replacement in 2018 and stairway repairs in 2015, though a concerning pattern of plumbing and water-related problems persisted, with two sewage backup incidents reported in 2012 and 2013.

The building has a history of violations requiring attention to safety and maintenance standards, particularly during 2001 and 2016, when violations related to security (such as door self-closing mechanisms), fire safety (fire extinguishers), and building integrity (stairs and mold issues) were documented. Between 2019 and 2022, multiple complaints regarding basic utilities and maintenance led to various permit applications for repairs, including electrical upgrades in 2012-2014 and various other improvements. A significant cluster of complaints in 2016 highlighted multiple issues including plumbing, heating, and security concerns, while violations from 2016 included mold, pest, lead paint, and general maintenance issues. The most recent incident, a fire-related complaint from December 2023, was found to have no merit with no reported injuries or damage. The property has undergone several electrical system upgrades, including a 200-amp service installation in 2012, though some permits from this period show as cancelled or expired. While the building has received ongoing maintenance attention, the repeating nature of certain issues suggests ongoing challenges with building systems and maintenance.

Risk rating

How 6-8 Pueblo 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.

Neighborhood percentile
29th percentile

Out of 214 buildings in this neighborhood, 152 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Property class: multi-family flat

2–4 unit flats (class F) are a common SF building type with their own maintenance and complaint patterns.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 70.2%
Moderate concern 13.6%
Severe concern 16.2%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
