Initial analysis

The 4-story, 8-unit multi-family residential building at 1463-1465 Powell Street in North Beach, owned by My Susan LLC, was constructed in 1907 and has undergone several significant improvements over recent years. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2019, which included shearwall installation, concrete footings, and stair landing reinforcement, meeting San Francisco's seismic safety requirements. The building underwent substantial infrastructure upgrades in late 2019, including plumbing work to re-stub existing fixtures and install a new water heater, as well as electrical improvements involving bathroom upgrades and complete replacement of lights, switches, receptacles, and circuits throughout the building.

The building has a history of various maintenance and compliance issues, particularly evident in 2004-2005 when multiple housing code violations were documented, including problems with interior surfaces, fire safety (including fire escape maintenance), sanitation, lighting, and smoke detection systems. These violations, along with several construction-related complaints regarding unauthorized work in retail space and food facility installation, were all officially abated by December 2005. Since then, there have been no active housing code violations, though the property has experienced routine maintenance issues, primarily involving exterior areas as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in 2023-2024 regarding street cleaning and debris removal. The most recent building inspection in 2024 showed no significant concerns, and three minor fire-related incidents recorded (lock-out, police matter, and vehicle-pedestrian accident) all had no civilian injuries reported. The successful completion of the soft-story retrofit in 2019 (classified as Tier 4) demonstrates the current ownership's commitment to building safety improvements.

Risk rating

How 1463-1465 Powell 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.

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.

Building permits (past 7 years)

Number of permits pulled at this address — construction or renovation activity over 7 years.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 30.4%
Moderate concern 47.7%
Severe concern 22.0%
