Initial analysis

The 3-unit residential building at 3 Carrizal Street in Visitacion Valley, owned by Nelson V. Lopez, is a one-story flats and duplex structure built in 1947. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades, including a 200-amp electrical service upgrade in 2010 that added three separate meters for the units, and facade improvements in 2013 that involved stucco replacement and garage door upgrades. The property has maintained generally good compliance with housing codes, though it experienced a cluster of gas safety violations in late 2000 requiring corrections that were promptly addressed within one month, including the installation of gas shutoff tools and instructional diagrams.

The building has undergone regular housing inspections in 1999, 2000, 2004, and 2010, all of which were resolved without indicating any serious or persistent issues. Fire department records show a series of service calls and minor incidents between 2000 and 2010, including smoke scares, a gas leak, and carbon monoxide detector activation, though none resulted in civilian injuries. Recent 311 calls from January 2025 have primarily concerned external issues such as garbage and debris on the street, with several cases still in progress. A routine inspection or service request regarding the building itself was recorded in January 2025, though specifics are not detailed in the available data. The building's recent history shows no major safety concerns or habitability issues, and records indicate the unit's status has transitioned from HOE to regular rental classification with the Rent Board.

Risk rating

How 3 Carrizal 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

Out of 214 buildings in this neighborhood, 73 are predicted to be safer.
