Initial analysis

The two-story multi-family residential building at 832-840 Holloway Avenue, owned by Fang Shu Mei, was constructed in 1925 and contains 4 units plus commercial space. Recent improvements include a 2023 project to enhance accessibility with an electric gate system, and a significant 2021-2022 renovation converting a former hair salon into a facial beauty skin care spa, which included updating facilities and installing new equipment and fixtures valued at $65,000. This later renovation was supported by comprehensive plumbing and electrical work. Historical records show two past mold/mildew incidents in 2003 and access issues to the garbage area in 2000, both of which were promptly resolved. The building underwent various modifications in 1996-1999 including reroofing and commercial remodeling.

Recent municipal service activity around the property has been notable, with multiple reports of abandoned vehicles and sidewalk maintenance issues in late 2024, though many were resolved upon inspection. There are currently two open cases from January 2025 regarding tree root damage to the sidewalk and tree maintenance. A fire alarm system issue was recorded in July 2019 but was promptly corrected, and there was one reported water leak incident. The property's maintenance history suggests regular updates and improvements, with the most recent focus on accessibility compliance and commercial space modernization.

Risk rating

How 832-840 Holloway 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
