Initial analysis

The property at 431-433 Arlington Street in Glen Park is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1913, currently owned by Morris Donnie R Trustee. The building has experienced significant vacancy issues over the past decade, with multiple violations of the Vacant or Abandoned Building Ordinance (194-09) documented between 2013 and 2022, including persistent blight conditions such as broken windows, fire safety concerns, and evidence of wildlife infestations (pigeons). Since May 2023, there have been some positive developments with new building permits issued in October 2024 for kitchen and bathroom renovations in two separate permits, each valued at $10,000.

The building's history shows past maintenance attempts such as staircase repairs in 1996 and the installation of a sprinkler system in 1992. More recent concerns have emerged regarding surrounding property conditions, with several 311 calls in 2024 relating to damaged trees near the property and encampment-related issues documented in late 2023. While the building had the same owner for over three decades, current records indicate the property may have fallen under a trust ownership structure. The recent issuance of renovation permits suggests potential rehabilitation of the long-vacant structure, though its historical pattern of violations and maintenance issues warrants careful observation of future developments.

Risk rating

How 431-433 Arlington 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.
