24 SF addresses with the most open DBI case files
For each address, how many of its Department of Building Inspection complaint files still carry a notice of violation marked active. A complaint is an allegation anyone can file. A notice of violation is what a city inspector found after inspecting. This page counts the second. Each card carries the date its records were fetched.
This is not a survey of San Francisco. The 828 addresses in our records were pulled by queries sorted on complaint volume, active complaints, fire violations and City Attorney referrals — never on notices of violation. So this page ranks addresses on a measure its own sample was never selected for, out of roughly 200,000 parcels in the city. An address missing from this list has not been checked and cleared. Most of San Francisco was never looked at.
These counts have no time limit, and some of them are old. The count on each card includes every file still marked active, whatever year it was opened — 226 files across these 24 addresses. 6 of the 24 have had no notice of violation activity in over 3 years, and each of those cards says so on its face. An active file can mean the problem is unresolved. It can also mean the file was never administratively closed after the work was done. The city publishes the status, not which of the two you are looking at, and neither do we.
We count files, not violations. DBI groups notices of violation under the complaint file they came from. One file can carry several items, and one inspection can open several files. So the number on each card is a count of open case files at that address, not a count of things wrong with the building.
Houses are on this list, next to apartment blocks. Nothing was filtered out by property type, unit count, or whether the property is rented at all. 7 of these 24 are one- or two-unit properties. Each card prints the Assessor's own words for the property, unchanged, so you can see which kind you are reading. Treat the class description as the reliable field: the Assessor's unit count is wrong often and in both directions.
How ties work. Addresses with the same count share a rank and are listed alphabetically inside it. The alphabetical order inside a tie is not a ranking. Shared ranks are marked with an equals sign. As of this fetch: 1 at 15, 2 at 14, 2 at 13, 2 at 11, 1 at 10, 3 at 9, 7 at 8, 6 at 7.

The list stops at 7 open files, which is where a band of tied addresses ends — cutting at a round number would have published some of a tie and hidden the rest. 335 more of the 828 addresses we checked have at least one. 469 have none. A zero is not a clean record: it is one measure, on one day, at one door.
These are city records, not our findings. Every figure comes from San Francisco's open data at data.sf.gov — building inspection complaints and notices of violation — fetched on the date printed on each card. The city's own record is at data.sf.gov, and DBI, not this site, is the system of record for whether a notice has been abated. A file we show as active may have been closed since we read it.
If a row here is wrong, write to support@housinggrade.com and say which address. We will check it against the city record and correct or remove the row.
