Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 268 Whitney Street in Glen Park, owned by the Green & Martindale Family Trust, is a two-story flats and duplex structure dating back to 1910. The building's maintenance history shows several significant structural improvements, including a substantial renovation in 2001 valued at $45,000 involving the removal and replacement of the south wall sill, bolting and shearing of walls on all four sides of the garage, and installation of new metal beams and posts. Although this permit initially expired, it was subsequently completed in 2003. Earlier improvements include a stair closure in 1996 and a reroofing project in 1990, both of which were completed successfully.

Recent activity at the property demonstrates ongoing challenges with parking violations in the immediate vicinity, particularly regarding sidewalk obstructions, with multiple enforcement actions taken between August and October 2024. There were also two reports of garbage and debris issues in 2024, including one incident involving human waste that was investigated but nothing was found upon inspection. A notable administrative matter was resolved in November 2023 concerning the Rent Board's fee housing inventory, where it was confirmed that the property is exempt from Rent Board fees. The building's documented history suggests regular maintenance and improvement efforts by the owners, with particular attention paid to structural elements during the early 2000s, though more recent months have seen recurring issues with illegal parking and some street cleanliness concerns in the vicinity.

Risk rating

How 268 Whitney 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
