Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 135 Broad Street in Oceanview, owned by Zhiwen Peng Yu Family Trust, was constructed in 1964 and underwent several significant improvements in the early 2000s. In 2002, substantial modifications were made including the addition of bedrooms, bathrooms, laundry facilities, and storage space in the ground floor lower unit, along with a complete reroofing project. The property received an electrical upgrade with a 150-amp underground conversion in 2004. A notable incident occurred in 2007 when an illegal garage unit complaint was filed, though this was quickly addressed and marked as not active.

In recent years, the property has experienced numerous parking-related issues in the surrounding area, with multiple incidents of sidewalk parking, driveway blocking, and abandoned vehicle reports between late 2024 and early 2025, though most of these cases were resolved through citations or inspections. There have also been some concerns regarding waste management, with several reports of garbage and debris including mattresses and liquid spills, though most were resolved promptly. An overgrown tree blocking the sidewalk reported in October 2024 remains an open issue. The building's fire safety record shows two complaints in 2015 and 2016, with one in late 2016 resulting in violations related to housekeeping and work done without proper permits, though these were referred to hearing and corrective actions were initiated. The property's infrastructure and safety systems appear to have been generally well-maintained, with no new construction or significant modifications reported since the mid-2000s.

Risk rating

How 135 Broad 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
47th percentile

Out of 79 buildings in this neighborhood, 42 are predicted to be safer.
