Initial analysis

The 476-480 Eddy Street property, a 6-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1924, contains 35 units and is currently owned by Tenderloin Neighborhood Development Corporation. The building has undergone significant recent improvements, including a comprehensive $8 million renovation in 2019-2020 that encompassed 32 affordable housing units, seismic upgrades, and accessibility improvements. More recent work in 2023-2024 has focused on structural and safety enhancements, including the installation of evacuation maps, masonry anchors to secure the parapet, and one-hour rated walls in the attic. Several plumbing and mechanical upgrades have been completed, including the installation of a new steam boiler, replacement of domestic and waste piping, and updates to the fire sprinkler system.

The building has experienced various maintenance and compliance issues over its history, with recent concerns primarily around building systems and safety equipment. In 2023-2024, there were violations related to standpipe systems and sleeping area requirements, though these were subsequently addressed. The property has a history of elevator and hot water system challenges, with tenant complaints about hot water availability in 2020 and elevator outages noted in 2018. While there have been multiple fire alarm activations and system maintenance issues recorded over the years, most were either false alarms or promptly corrected. The recent replacement of evacuation maps and ongoing fire safety improvements suggest a focus on enhancing resident safety. Recent complaints in early 2024 regarding construction noise were investigated but determined to be outside regulatory limits, and two boiler permit renewal issues were resolved by March 2024. The building's recent permit activity, including ground floor commercial space improvements and infrastructure upgrades, indicates ongoing investment in maintaining and upgrading the property to meet modern standards.

Risk rating

How 476-480 Eddy 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.

Number of units

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

Moderate concern 86.3%
Severe concern 4.2%
