Initial analysis

The 8-unit, 3-story apartment building at 2025 Stockton Street in North Beach, owned by the Chu Revocable Trust, has undergone several significant safety and maintenance upgrades since its construction in 1974. Most notably, a comprehensive fire alarm system installation was completed in November 2023, including new control panels, smoke detectors, pull stations, and horn sounders, with an additional upgrade in September 2024 to comply with current fire code requirements. The building successfully completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2015, reinforcing ground floor shear walls and foundation, and has maintained its compliance as a Tier 3 soft-story building. Historical maintenance records show attention to roofing issues, with reroofing work performed in 1998, 2014, and 2018, though one instance in 2018 resulted in a complaint for unauthorized work that was subsequently resolved.

The building has faced several regulatory challenges that have been addressed, including a series of fire safety violations in August 2020 related to exit maintenance, alarm systems, and emergency lighting, all of which were corrected. A routine housing inspection in 2005 revealed various fire safety issues including problems with smoke detectors, emergency exits, and fire extinguishers, but these were abated by December 2005. The property has also experienced some recent maintenance concerns, including documented water quality issues (brown discharge) in 2019 and complaints about reduced trash service leading to sanitation problems that same year. There were also concerns about possible illegal short-term rentals in units 3 and 8, which were investigated in 2020 but resulted in no violations being found.

Risk rating

How 2025 Stockton 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
21th percentile

Out of 362 buildings in this neighborhood, 286 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.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

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 23.8%
Moderate concern 51.3%
Severe concern 24.8%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
