Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 315 Orizaba Avenue in Ingleside Heights, owned by the Donald B Shipp Revocable Trust, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1945. The property has undergone two significant improvements in its documented history: a complete reroofing project in 1991 and a substantial siding renovation in 2021, where approximately 650 square feet of James Hardie lap siding was installed at a cost of $16,500, though notably not on the street-visible front facade. More recent activity around the property has primarily involved parking enforcement and street maintenance issues, with multiple complaints regarding illegal parking and driveway blocking in January 2025, resulting in several citations and at least one open complaint. There have been recurring reports of garbage and debris in the vicinity during late 2024, though most of these were resolved without the need for intervention. The building has experienced two fire department responses for alarm activations, though neither incident involved actual fires or resulted in civilian injuries. While there are records of tenant buyouts in the neighborhood (at 262 Minerva Street in 2021 for $20,000 and at 288 Thrift Street in 2018 for $25,000), there are no documented buyouts directly associated with this address.

Risk rating

How 315 Orizaba 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
