Initial analysis

The two-story multi-family residential building at 210 Plymouth Ave in Oceanview, owned by Helen J. Shaw, was constructed in 1900 and is classified as a Flat & Store with 4 units or less, though it currently contains 2 units. The property has a notable history of permit activity, including a significant proposed renovation in 2003 that was withdrawn, which would have converted the mixed-use space to residential, added three units, and included a substantial 2,500 square foot living space addition with system upgrades valued at $350,000. More recently, in June 2024, the building underwent plumbing work for the removal and replacement of a 40-gallon gas water heater located in the kitchen.

The property has experienced several maintenance and safety issues in recent years, with the most significant being a sewage backup discharge from the side sewer vent in June 2024. There has also been recurring parking enforcement activity, particularly regarding driveway blocking, with multiple citations issued between March and May 2023, and additional complaints about sidewalk parking in 2023 and 2024. Other incidents include graffiti on the commercial portion of the building in September 2023 (described as offensive) and various parking-related complaints, including two citations issued for blocking driveways in March 2023 and May 2023. The building's only documented structural repair appears to be from 1989, when dryrot was addressed at the rear deck. While the property has maintained basic compliance with local regulations, the pattern of parking violations and the plumbing incident suggest occasional challenges with building access and systems reliability.

Risk rating

How 210 Plymouth 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

Out of 79 buildings in this neighborhood, 54 are predicted to be safer.
