AI summary

The 18-unit, four-story apartment building at 730 Stockton Street, constructed in 1922, has experienced multiple significant maintenance and safety issues over the past decade. Most recently, in late 2023, the building received fire violations regarding sleeping area requirements and extinguishers, with an open violation for sleeping area requirements still pending resolution. The building has undergone several important system upgrades, including a recent fire alarm system upgrade in December 2024 (cost: $35,100) to meet code requirements, and the installation of new heating systems in 2017 comprising a steam boiler, hot water boiler, and storage tanks. A major concern has been the elevator system, with complaints documented in 2019 about malfunctioning service and code compliance issues that persisted for years, though no recent elevator-related complaints have been filed.

The building has a documented history of habitability concerns, including a notable set of violations in 2016-2017 involving inadequate heat provision, building management requirements, and various maintenance issues that were eventually abated. Previous problems included multiple instances of bedbug infestations (2008-2010), lead paint concerns (2018), and various plumbing and electrical issues. The property has a pattern of fire safety inspections revealing areas of non-compliance, particularly regarding alarm systems and extinguishers, though many violations were promptly corrected or rescinded. Historical records show fire incidents have typically been minor, with no civilian injuries reported in recent years. The building's current ownership has made investment in critical systems, as evidenced by the recent fire alarm upgrades and past heating system improvements, though periodic safety violations persist.

Risk rating

How 730 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
27th percentile

Out of 145 buildings in this neighborhood, 106 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.

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 11.6%
Moderate concern 74.4%
Severe concern 14.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.

One of the occupants of this building is using the common outdoor roof area to string up laundry lines and dry clothes.this setup poses some immediate concerns:1- fire safety hazard: the lines and hanging clothing create an obstruction to entrance to fire escape and emergency access points for firefighters.2- structural hazard: ropes are tied directly to fire escape outside ladder, vents, and gutter which violate local building codes.
