Initial analysis

The property at 43-45 Castillo Street is a two-story, two-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Visitacion Valley neighborhood. Built in 1949, this flats and duplex-style building has undergone several maintenance updates over its lifetime, with multiple roofing projects documented between 1988 and 2003, suggesting ongoing attention to building upkeep. In 1992, a notable repair was performed to address fungus damage in the subarea, indicating previous moisture-related issues, though this problem appears to have been addressed. Window improvements were completed in 1987-88 with the installation of aluminum windows.

More recently, the property has experienced recurring issues with driveway access, evidenced by six parking enforcement calls between January 2020 and November 2023, all related to vehicles blocking the driveway. These incidents represent a continuing pattern of parking challenges in the vicinity of the building, with varying degrees of enforcement response, including citations and attempts to locate offending vehicles. While these parking issues do not directly affect the building's structural integrity or resident safety, they may impact resident convenience and access to the property.

Risk rating

How 43-45 Castillo 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.
