Initial analysis

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 122 Bemis Street in Glen Park, owned by the Chen & Zhou Family Revocable Living Trust, has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects since its construction in 1949. Most notably, in 2024, the building faced multiple housing code violations regarding window conditions and water damage, which were addressed through a completed $10,000 window replacement project that installed proper single-hung aluminum double-paned windows throughout the building. Other recent improvements include a 200-amp electrical service upgrade and subpanel replacement in 2022, and structural safety enhancements in 2013 that involved replacing two sets of steps, installing a fence, and adding guardrails. The building has experienced several maintenance challenges in recent years, including a furnace malfunction, ventilation issues, and mold concerns reported in early 2024, all of which have since been resolved according to available records.

The property has also required various infrastructure repairs, including sewer work completed in 2013. Recent external maintenance matters have involved tree-related issues, with two open cases from March 2024 regarding property damage and overgrowth concerns. While there have been two fire-related incidents on record, neither resulted in civilian injuries. The building's location on a street with active maintenance needs is evidenced by multiple 311 calls in 2024, including reports of pavement defects, waste issues, and various tree concerns, though most of these external matters appear to have been resolved through city services.

Risk rating

How 122 Bemis 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.
