Initial analysis

The property at 190-196 Miramar Ave is a 2-story, 4-unit multi-family residential building located in the Ingleside neighborhood and owned by the Yu Family Trust. Built in 1925, this flats and duplex-style building has undergone several significant improvements and faced various maintenance challenges over its history. The most recent notable proposed renovation, filed in November 2017, was to convert an existing garage into a bedroom in unit 190, with an estimated cost of $24,000, though this permit's ultimate status is unclear. The building has a history of addressing structural and safety concerns, including substantial electrical work completed in 2004 (installation of 11 lights, 13 switches, 34 receptacles, and 15 circuits), and building repairs including sheetrock replacement, bathroom tile work, and kitchen cabinet installation in 2004.

In 2003, the property experienced multiple safety and maintenance violations related to electrical systems, smoke detectors, emergency exits, stairs, and hot water heater exhaust pipes, though all these issues were abated by June 2003. A possible unauthorized unit alteration was reported in 2004 regarding work done in apartment 192. More recent concerns have centered on external issues, with numerous 311 calls in 2024 primarily regarding parking violations (including multiple instances of vehicles parking on sidewalks) and occasional reports of debris and garbage. While the building has a documented history of routine inspections and prompt attention to violations, it has also faced various maintenance challenges over the years, including past issues with mildew, inadequate heat, rodents, and window problems noted in a 1999 complaint. Recent activity primarily involves external management of parking and street cleanliness issues, suggesting these are more recent area-specific concerns rather than building-specific problems.

Risk rating

How 190-196 Miramar 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.
