Initial analysis

The property at 543-545 Holloway Avenue in the Ingleside neighborhood is a 1-story, 2-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1967, currently owned by Optimal Partners Gp. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in 2022-2023, including multiple violations that were subsequently resolved through various repairs. Most notably, there were multiple building violations related to laundry facilities in late 2022 requiring remediation, and a serious water damage incident in January 2023 that caused ceiling collapse and electrical outlet smoking. Recent maintenance work includes roof repairs completed in November 2023 (costing $5,350), rear stair repairs completed in late 2022, and various electrical upgrades including the installation of a booster fan for a residential dryer in early 2023 and a 220-volt line for washer installation in late 2022.

The building has undergone several significant improvements over its lifetime, including a kitchen remodel in 2018 that involved comprehensive updates to cabinets, countertops, flooring, plumbing, and electrical systems (costing $19,600). Separate utility metering for the units was established in 2007, allowing for distinct utility billing. Recent concerns have included multiple complaints about parking issues near the property, with numerous citations issued for vehicles blocking driveways between 2022 and 2023, suggesting ongoing challenges with parking availability in the area.

Risk rating

How 543-545 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.
