Initial analysis

730 Ofarrell St is a 23-unit, 4-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1923 in the Downtown neighborhood and currently owned by Pritchard Marital Trust. The property has undergone several significant recent improvements, including a fire alarm system upgrade completed in August 2024 ($52,200), reroofing work completed in November 2023 ($79,550), and a domestic boiler replacement in 2021. However, there are two active boiler permit violations as of July 2024 regarding permits for serial numbers C21307564 and 518730-200507 that require attention.

The building has a documented history of fire safety concerns, with multiple fire code violations issued between 2006 and 2023, including issues with sprinklers/standpipe systems, sleeping area requirements, fire extinguishers, and general fire protection equipment maintenance. A notable incident occurred in the elevator, requiring emergency services to assist in May 2023. Recent tenant complaints from 2023 indicated water leakage through the lobby ceiling and debris creating fire hazards. The property has received attention from various city departments for garbage and debris issues, with multiple 311 calls recorded between September and December 2024, most relating to general debris and encampments in the vicinity.

Risk rating

How 730 Ofarrell 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
