Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1822 Church Street in Glen Park, owned by Alexander Galan, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1904. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most recent major work being a reroofing project completed in 2003 at a cost of $12,329. Earlier renovations included the addition of a spiral stairway, exterior door modifications, and kitchen relocation in 1989, along with a horizontal extension and deck addition in 1987. There was a kitchen remodel permit filed in 1997 that expired, though another permit was subsequently renewed for this work. Multiple other permits from the 1980s were either completed or expired, indicating various improvements to the building during that period.

The building's location has experienced numerous parking-related issues in recent years, particularly between 2020 and 2022, with six documented cases of driveway blocking incidents, most of which resulted in either citations or the responding officers being unable to locate the offending vehicles. Other minor incidents recorded include reports of pavement defects in 2018, some abandoned vehicles on nearby streets in 2018, and a toter-related complaint in 2024 that was investigated but found to have no merit. The property has not experienced any documented fire incidents or tenant buyout actions, and there are no recorded civilian injuries associated with any incidents at the address. While the building's permit history suggests regular maintenance and improvements over the decades, the recent parking enforcement issues appear to be the most notable concern regarding the property's immediate vicinity.

Risk rating

How 1822 Church 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
76th percentile

Out of 364 buildings in this neighborhood, 87 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.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 84.9%
Moderate concern 10.2%
Severe concern 4.9%
