Initial analysis

The 34-unit, 5-story apartment building at 615 Leavenworth Street (built in 1922) has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns surrounding fire safety and unit maintenance. Most notably, there are three active fire code violations as of 2024-2023, including a sleeping area requirement violation (December 2023) and multiple fire code violations (February 2024). The building has a concerning history of heating system problems, with a major complaint in March 2020 reporting inadequate heat for nearly two weeks, and more recent plumbing issues documented in March 2022 involving non-functional smoke/carbon monoxide detectors and various bathroom plumbing problems. A prior complaint in 2019 regarding window replacement work also raised concerns about fire escape access and proper containment of building materials.

The property, managed by Martland Family 2020 Trust, has undergone various maintenance work over the years, including window replacements in 2019 (in response to housing violations), roofing work in 2013, and equipment upgrades such as a new boiler in 2012. However, there remains an open violation regarding sleeping area requirements as of December 2023. Historical maintenance records show addressing of multiple interior surface issues between 2002-2003, including repairs to walls, ceilings, and smoke detection systems. While some improvements have been made, including electrical upgrades in unit 507 in 2016, the building has recurrent issues with basic systems and safety requirements, as evidenced by regular fire code violations and maintenance complaints. Recent plumbing and heating system work appears to have been completed, as indicated by the resolution of the boiler permit violation in April 2023.

Risk rating

How 615 Leavenworth 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

Out of 448 buildings in this neighborhood, 367 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.

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 8.7%
Moderate concern 84.0%
Severe concern 7.3%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
