Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 437 Holloway Avenue, owned by Doris M Campos, has a documented history of several significant events that merit attention. Built in 1989 following the demolition of a single-family dwelling in 1987, the property underwent notable regulatory issues between 2004-2005 when construction violations were discovered, including an unauthorized 20' x 20' horizontal wood addition on the eastern property line, which prompted multiple Notices of Violation (NOVs) and ultimately required correction work in March 2005 costing $500. Additional compliance challenges arose in March 2005 with reports of an illegal third apartment conversion in the basement, though this was abated within weeks. The building's electrical history shows an expired permit from 2003 for a garage door opener installation. More recently, the property faced investigation for illegal short-term rentals in 2022, with listings on Airbnb ultimately removed and marked as abated.

The building's permit history includes several minor improvements, such as kitchen cabinet refacing in 2002 (permit expired) and work related to a garage conversion in 2002 (permit required but apparently unauthorwitzed). Since 2020, there have been multiple enforcement calls regarding parking violations near the property, with at least five citations issued for blocked driveways and illegal parking, particularly involving various vehicles between 2020 and 2024. While these parking issues do not directly impact the building's condition or safety, they indicate ongoing challenges with neighborhood parking behavior. The property also experienced a period of construction and garage modification-related complaints in 2002-2005, though these issues appear to have been resolved through compliance actions. The most recent activity at the address consists primarily of parking enforcement matters, with no major building code violations or safety concerns reported in recent years.

Risk rating

How 437 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
67th percentile

Out of 156 buildings in this neighborhood, 51 are predicted to be safer.
