AI summary

The two-unit residential building at 846-848 North Point Street in Russian Hill, constructed in 1907, has experienced multiple significant events in recent years, particularly related to water damage and unauthorized construction. Most recently, in April 2024, there were repairs completed for water leak damage on an outdoor deck in unit 846-848 at a cost of $3,200. Concurrently, there were multiple complaints regarding unauthorized work in unit 846A, including electrical and plumbing modifications, and construction in the light well. These recent issues follow a pattern of similar concerns, as evidenced by a 2024 complaint about possible illegal units with kitchen and bathroom facilities, and prior violations related to landscaping and variance conditions.

The building's history shows a mix of maintenance and regulatory challenges, including a cluster of fire safety violations in 2006 that were promptly abated, involving the need to recharge fire extinguishers and install smoke detectors. More recently, between August and November 2024, there have been multiple reports of debris and furniture left on the street outside the building. Of particular note, there is an open fire code violation issued in January 2025 related to a property at 747-777 Beach Street. The building has undergone various permitted modifications over the years, including a 2012 application to extend an existing mezzanine and relocate a kitchen, though the ultimate outcome of this application requires verification.

Risk rating

How 846-848 North Point 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
63th percentile

Out of 1133 buildings in this neighborhood, 419 are predicted to be safer.
