Initial analysis

The two-unit residential property at 209 Plymouth Avenue in Oceanview is a two-story flat and store building constructed in 1927, currently owned by the Edith M Lovell 2002 Revocable Trust. The building's documented history includes minimal structural work, with only one permitted sidewalk repair in 2000, though this permit has since expired. The property's record of municipal service calls over recent years reveals recurring issues with street and sidewalk maintenance, including multiple reports of loose garbage cleaning needs in 2019-2021.

A significant pattern emerges regarding parking-related incidents, particularly in 2019-2020, with eight documented cases of vehicles blocking driveways or improperly parking on sidewalks, though in each case, responding officers were unable to locate the vehicles in question. More recent concerns for this location include two sidewalk-related incidents, a residential totter blocking the sidewalk in 2022, and hazardous materials requiring cleanup (specifically oil/paint/other liquids) in 2017. The building's permit and service call history suggests ongoing challenges with street maintenance and parking compliance in the immediate vicinity, though most cases were resolved promptly by city services.

Risk rating

How 209 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
