Initial analysis

The 4-unit multi-family residential building at 1209-1215 Capitol Avenue in the Ingleside neighborhood, owned by Wanderingson Properties LLC, has undergone significant renovations and improvements since 2007. The most substantial recent work occurred in 2013, when five windows and wood siding were replaced on the building's rear at a cost of $18,000. Earlier major renovations from 2010-2011 included comprehensive electrical and plumbing upgrades, with the installation of new electrical services, rewiring of all units, new plumbing fixtures, two tankless water heaters, furnaces with ducting, and bathroom improvements totaling approximately $45,000. The building has also seen sustainability improvements, including the installation of a 3.3kW solar PV system in 2008, though recent records show no solar-related issues.

The property has experienced recurring issues with street cleanliness, particularly regarding abandoned items and debris, with a notable cluster of incidents in late 2024. Between October and December 2024, there were multiple reports of garbage, including mattresses and electronics, along with other debris on the street and sidewalk. While most of these cases have been resolved promptly through municipal intervention, the frequency of these incidents may indicate ongoing neighborhood cleanliness challenges in the vicinity of the building. The building's maintenance record shows regular upkeep and modernization efforts, with no major structural or safety-related complaints on file.

Risk rating

How 1209-1215 Capitol 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

Out of 156 buildings in this neighborhood, 112 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 33.3%
Moderate concern 23.0%
Severe concern 43.6%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
