Initial analysis

The property at 15-17 Child Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in Telegraph Hill, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by the Taiariol Family Trust. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the years, including a complete window replacement project in 2007 that upgraded all 19 windows throughout the building, and more recently, a reroofing project in 2016. A sewer repair was completed in May 2017, which is particularly noteworthy given the property's history of sewer-related issues as evidenced by a water quality case accepted by the PUC in December 2022.

The building has generated multiple 311 calls in recent years, with the most recent issues in 2024 involving overhead obstructions and illegal postings between buildings. There is also a pending uncategorized fire complaint from September 2024 that requires monitoring for resolution. The property has experienced recurring problems with illegal parking in the vicinity, particularly during the summer of 2022, though these were generally resolved through enforcement actions. Other notable incidents include noise complaints in August 2022 and various roadway concerns. The most recent maintenance history shows active management of building systems, though the pending fire complaint and recent overhead obstruction issues may warrant attention.

Risk rating

How 15-17 Child 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

Out of 684 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.

Building age

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

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 89.3%
Moderate concern 5.8%
Severe concern 5.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
