Initial analysis

The two-story, 8-unit multi-family residential building at 1462 California Street in Nob Hill, owned by Dun Edmund & Lorraine Famil, was constructed in 1974 and has a documented history of several significant events. In 1989, the building underwent a complete reroofing project. A cluster of building violations was recorded in October 2009, including issues with fire safety (such as expired fire extinguisher tags and blocked egress), security concerns (improper door self-closing devices and locking mechanisms), interior maintenance needs (water damage, ceiling painting), and gas utility requirements, though all these violations were abated by February 2010. That same month, a fire alarm system issue was reported and promptly corrected, with no injuries or significant damage recorded.

In recent months (2023-2024), there have been several maintenance and cleanliness issues reported in the vicinity of the building, including multiple reports of garbage and debris, sidewalk parking violations, and a damaged parking meter, all of which were resolved by city services. One particularly concerning incident from September 2023 involves graffiti on the building that remains open as of the latest data. While these recent issues primarily relate to the building's exterior environment rather than structural or safety concerns, they do indicate ongoing challenges with property maintenance in the immediate area.

Risk rating

How 1462 California 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

Model explanation

What's driving this score

Number of units

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

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 34.3%
Moderate concern 27.1%
Severe concern 38.5%
