Initial analysis

1690 Beach Street is a three-story, 14-unit multi-family residential building located in the Marina neighborhood, constructed in 1934 and currently owned by B K & G LLC. The building has undergone significant improvements and maintenance work over the past decade, including a voluntary seismic upgrade to the garage (2021, $45,000), new garage door installation (2022, $3,500), re-roofing (2018, $38,000), and the addition of an elevator shaft for future elevator installation (2018, $25,000). Several comprehensive unit upgrades were completed in 2018, including a kitchen and bathroom remodel ($36,000), electrical system enhancements, and plumbing improvements.

The building has experienced recurring fire safety compliance issues, with multiple violations and complaints recorded between 2018 and 2024 related to alarm systems, fire escapes, blocked exits, and fire extinguisher maintenance. Notable recent incidents include a broken window with glass shards in January 2023, and a blocked exit condition in January 2024 that was promptly corrected. Recent maintenance issues have included concerns about illegal parking around the property (2023-2024) and various environmental health matters, which were handled through appropriate channels. The property underwent a tenant buyout in March 2018 for $80,000, and records indicate all major building violations have been addressed and abated, with the most recent fire safety violation from September 2023 regarding fire extinguisher service now marked as abated.

Risk rating

How 1690 Beach 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
