Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 30-32 Francis Street in Mission Terrace, owned by Xie Ling Qi, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1912. The property has undergone some improvements, notably the installation of a solar power system in 2018, featuring 11 PV modules with a total DC rating of 3.465 kW, which was successfully completed. The building's recent history reveals several maintenance and safety concerns, with the most pressing issue being a sewage backup discharge from the side sewer vent on November 14, 2024. Other notable incidents include a resolved case of human waste or urine on the property (December 2024), and multiple parking-related enforcement actions between 2019 and 2024, including several cases of vehicles blocking driveways and parking on sidewalks, though most of these were resolved through citations or officer responses.

The property's external environment has experienced recurring issues with street cleanliness, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls regarding garbage and debris between 2019 and 2024, including reports of loose garbage and more serious waste issues. Infrastructure concerns have also been documented, such as a burnt-out street light in September 2024. While the building itself has not been reported for any internal issues, the property appears to be affected by ongoing challenges related to parking enforcement and street maintenance in the immediate vicinity.

Risk rating

How 30-32 Francis 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
80th percentile

Out of 149 buildings in this neighborhood, 30 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.

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

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 68.9%
Moderate concern 16.4%
Severe concern 14.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
