Initial analysis

The property at 456-460 Broadway is a three-story mixed-use building constructed in 1906, containing four residential units and commercial space, currently owned by Broadway Liquors & Company. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and safety improvements in recent years, including a complete electrical systems upgrade with Federal Pacific panel replacements scheduled for October 2024 (three panels completed, one issued), and re-roofing work issued in December 2023 costing $9,800. The building has a documented history of addressing safety concerns, with all three electrical system violations from 2010, 2013, and 2017 being corrected promptly, though there was one fire violation from 2005 related to exit obstruction, which was subsequently closed.

The property experienced an unauthorized ATM installation in December 2012 that led to multiple code enforcement actions, though this was ultimately resolved by December 2017 through panel replacement work costing $500. Historical records show previous unit renovations, including kitchen and bathroom remodeling in 1994 ($32,000), and earlier re-roofing work from 1994 as well. More recently, there have been recurring issues with blocked sidewalks and garbage/debris around the property, with multiple reports between May and October 2024, primarily involving unlicensed scooters and waste accumulation, all of which were resolved through appropriate municipal channels. The building's commercial space has maintained its retail grocery store status, with approvals recorded under Health: General / Specialty Grocery regulations. While there were past concerns about unpermitted short-term rentals at 458 Broadway, these issues were resolved and officially closed, and the property currently maintains appropriate commercial and residential permits.

Risk rating

How 456-460 Broadway'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
35th percentile

Out of 684 buildings in this neighborhood, 445 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.

Number of units

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

Property class: apartment building

Apartment building — this property classification influences expected violation rates.

Building age

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 67.8%
Moderate concern 22.0%
Severe concern 10.2%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
