Initial analysis

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 200 Bright St in Ingleside Heights, owned by Cai Wenwei, has undergone significant renovations since its construction in 1947. The most substantial improvements occurred between 2013 and 2016, including a major 2014-2015 renovation that converted a former barber shop space into residential units, adding two bedrooms, a kitchen, bathroom, and two storage spaces, followed by a full first-floor remodel involving kitchen and bathroom updates, electrical rewiring, plumbing upgrades, and furnace replacements. The building had some historical issues, with violations and complaints related to unauthorized work (2005-2008) including unpermitted reroofing and lead paint safety violations during renovation work, though these were eventually resolved.

Recent history shows multiple 311 calls (late 2024) primarily related to parking enforcement and cleanliness issues around the property, with citations issued for illegal parking violations. There was also one open noise complaint from December 2024. The property underwent proper permitting processes for significant improvements, including a 2013-2014 kitchen and bathroom remodeling project, installation of new furnaces, and electrical system upgrades. Historical records show window installations in the 1980s and reroofing work in 2005, demonstrating ongoing maintenance efforts. A fire complaint from January 2015 was promptly addressed and corrected.

Risk rating

How 200 Bright 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.

Neighborhood percentile
