Initial analysis

The property at 206-208 Fairmount Street in Glen Park is a two-story multi-family residential building owned by Gail Lynn Sabin and constructed in 1926, classified as Flats & Duplex. The building's recent history shows several maintenance and renovation projects, with the most significant recent developments occurring in 2024. These include a sewage backup incident in November 2024, a damaged side sewer vent cover in October 2023, and ongoing issues with tree overgrowth reported in August 2024. The building previously experienced a series of plumbing and construction violations in 2015, when unauthorized work triggered complaints and subsequent enforcement actions, though these violations were resolved by January 2017. Notable renovations include window frame repairs and stucco work in 2018, a kitchen remodel in 2015 costing $20,000, and the installation of a new powder room in 2015 that was initially the subject of violations but was properly permitted through subsequent processing of permits totaling over $7,000 for plumbing and electrical work.

The building has undergone various improvements over the years, including the replacement of windows and appliances in unit 208 following a fire-related incident in 2007. The property's maintenance record shows regular attention to structural issues, though the recent sewer vent repair and historical dry rot work suggest ongoing attention is required to maintain the building's condition. The most recent interactions with city services primarily involve infrastructure and environmental concerns rather than residential unit-specific issues, indicating that while the building has had its share of maintenance needs, most recent systems-related problems have been promptly addressed through appropriate channels.

Risk rating

How 206-208 Fairmount 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.
