Initial analysis

The two-unit, two-story residential building at 750 Bay Street in Russian Hill, owned by Robert Thorpe Enterprises L, was constructed in 1907 and has undergone several significant renovations over the years. In 2002, the property underwent substantial improvements including the installation of 26 vinyl windows ($15,800) and voluntary foundation strengthening ($40,000). A reroofing project was completed in 1989. The building faced some maintenance challenges in 2013 when complaints were filed regarding peeling exterior paint creating potential lead hazards, though this issue was abated by December 2013. In 2014, there was a complaint about unauthorized bathrooms and kitchens, though this complaint is currently listed as not active.

More recently, the property has experienced issues with unauthorized short-term rentals, with planning records indicating complaints about full-time vacation rental use in one of the units. The building's immediate vicinity has been affected by various street-related issues, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls between 2020 and 2023, including a recent pavement defect reported in October 2023. There have been persistent parking enforcement issues in 2022, with multiple reports of driveway blocking, though most cases were resolved either through officer response or citations. The area has also experienced some sidewalk maintenance needs, with reports of illegal postings in 2022 and graffiti in 2020, all of which were subsequently resolved.

Risk rating

How 750 Bay 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
94th percentile

Out of 1133 buildings in this neighborhood, 68 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 81.0%
Moderate concern 6.6%
Severe concern 12.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
