Initial analysis

The Burke Lewis Apartments at 776 Bush Street is a 6-story, 61-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1911, currently experiencing significant maintenance issues. Most notably, a November 2023 complaint documented persistent water intrusion problems affecting multiple top-floor units, with tenants reporting roof leakage during rainfall that has allegedly persisted for three years, potentially affecting both resident comfort and building structure. The building currently has open violations related to sleeping area requirements (as of November 2023) and sprinkler system maintenance (from June 2022), while past fire code violations have included issues with sprinkler/standpipe systems and multiple unspecified infractions in 2017.

The property has undergone several telecommunications infrastructure modifications, with AT&T maintaining equipment on the building's roof/penthouse area through regular upgrades between 2010 and 2024, including recent work in 2024 for fire alarm system replacements and 2022 antenna modifications costing significant amounts ($81,500 and $45,000 respectively). Recent electrical safety measures include the installation of a new fire alarm system, elevator control functions installation, and related electrical work in 2023-2024.

Risk rating

How 776 Bush 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

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.

Building size

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

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 4.6%
Moderate concern 87.0%
Severe concern 8.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
