Initial analysis

The property at 82 Saint Marys Avenue is a four-story, two-unit multi-family residential building located in Bernal Heights, built in 1910 and currently owned by the Lacoe Leos-urbel Living Trust. The building has undergone significant renovations and repairs over the years, most notably in 2023 when water damage necessitated the replacement of hardwood flooring in Unit A (82-A) along with new baseboards and a drain cover modification, followed by yard drain replacement; and in 2019 when five front windows were replaced and some dry rot issues were addressed. The building has a documented history of sewer-related issues, with the most recent incidents occurring in 2024 involving sewage back-ups and vent problems, suggesting ongoing infrastructure challenges.

The property underwent substantial modifications between 2005-2007, including the creation of a secondary unit at ground floor with added bathrooms and bedrooms, conversion of storage to garage space, and comprehensive electrical upgrades including a new 200-amp service with three meters. Several building violations were recorded in 2004-2005 related to excavation work that allegedly compromised neighboring property access, though these were eventually abated. Tenant buyouts were recorded in 2018 for one tenant at $17,299 and two tenants at $30,000, indicating significant turnover in the building's occupancy. More recent 311 calls from 2022-2024 have primarily involved infrastructure issues such as pavement defects and sewer vent problems, though many were resolved with no action required. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep and addressing of various issues, though the recurring sewer-related problems suggest this remains an ongoing concern for the property.

Risk rating

How 82 Saint Marys 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.

Neighborhood percentile
63th percentile

Out of 1276 buildings in this neighborhood, 472 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.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

Building age

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 79.4%
Moderate concern 15.2%
Severe concern 5.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
