Initial analysis

The property at 105 Tiffany Avenue in Bernal Heights is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1940, currently owned by the Debbie Vola Ruben Living Trust. The building's maintenance record shows responsible upkeep, with a significant investment of $18,080 in a complete reroofing project undertaken in September 2020. A historical building complaint from September 1998 regarding an illegal unit behind the garage was eventually abated by December 2000 through Housing Inspection Services.

The most pressing recent issues at this address have been related to street conditions and parking enforcement. Between February and September 2024, there have been multiple incidents of parking violations, particularly concerning vehicles parking on the sidewalk, with several citations issued and some cases where officers were unable to locate the offending vehicles. The property has experienced recurrent issues with garbage and debris, particularly in September 2024, including reports of liquid spills and hazardous waste that required intervention from Street and Environmental Services. While these exterior maintenance issues have been addressed promptly by city services, they may indicate ongoing challenges with the immediate neighborhood environment.

Risk rating

How 105 Tiffany Ave'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.
