Initial analysis

The property at 250-296 Randolph Street in Ingleside Heights, currently owned by Nemat Matt Maleksalehi, is a mixed-use building constructed in 1951 with two residential units. The building's recent history has been marked by several concerning issues, most notably a period of vacancy and deterioration in early 2023, when multiple complaints were filed about the property being an abandoned blighted structure with reports of rodent problems. These complaints led to violations under the Vacant Building Ordinance, which were abated by June 2023. Prior to this, in 2018, there was an illegal conversion complaint regarding the conversion of a former laundromat space to a residential unit.

The building has been the subject of multiple fire safety complaints between 2019 and 2023, including issues with sleeping area requirements, alarm systems, and extinguishers, though most of these complaints were either corrected or found to have no merit. Planning records show approved permits for a proposed redevelopment project that would replace the existing structure with a new four-story mixed-use building comprising ground-floor commercial space and residential units above, though it's unclear if this project is currently active. Recent 311 calls from late 2024 through early 2025 indicate ongoing maintenance issues, including multiple reports of garbage and debris, excessive noise, and a public health complaint. While numerous fire incidents were recorded, they all resulted in no civilian injuries and were primarily related to false alarms or public service calls.

Risk rating

How 250-296 Randolph St'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.
