Risk rating

How 35-37 Prescott Ct'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
32th percentile

Out of 684 buildings in this neighborhood, 465 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

DBI complaint rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building complaint rate across the owner's portfolio.

Permit rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building permit rate across the owner's portfolio.

Building age

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

12-Month severity forecast

Moderate concern 15.5%
Severe concern 12.8%
