Initial analysis

The property at 1305-1307 Castro Street is a two-story, multi-family residential building with ground-floor commercial space, containing 4 units and constructed in 1900, currently owned by the Darryl C Leung Revocable Trust. The building has undergone significant recent improvements, particularly to its ground-floor restaurant space, with completed work in 2023 including accessibility upgrades to the counter and entry doors, along with plumbing and electrical relocations ($31,000). A voluntary fire suppression system upgrade was also issued in early 2023. The restaurant, formerly known as a fast-food establishment, has transitioned to a full-service operation (Memento SF), with recent permit activity in 2024 including awning installation and sign work ($9,000). The building has a history of addressing maintenance and safety concerns, including a 2023 complaint about a possible cross-connection issue at an employee restroom sink, though this was marked as not active.

Historical records show various improvement projects, including a 2013 rear deck and stair repair ($2,000) and a 2011 bathroom remodeling project ($13,000) with associated plumbing and electrical work. The property has experienced several inspection-related issues, including unauthorized electrical work in 2011 which was resolved within a month, and construction-related complaints in 2022 regarding unposted permits and work safety concerns, though these complaints were ultimately marked as not active. The building's commercial space has required multiple infrastructure upgrades over the years, including ventilation system installations in the late 1990s, and has maintained compliance with various regulatory requirements, such as obtaining ABC Type 41 license approval for its restaurant use. Recent maintenance issues have included sidewalk defects and periodic reports of garbage and debris, though most of these cases have been promptly resolved through city services.

Risk rating

How 1305-1307 Castro 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.
