Initial analysis

The 24-unit multi-family residential building at 1700 North Point Street, located in the Marina neighborhood, is a three-story apartment building constructed in 1936 and currently owned by George A Newhall III Revoc. The building has a documented history of various maintenance and compliance issues, with the most pressing concerns revolving around boiler and fire safety systems. Recently, in August 2024, the building received approval for upgrading its fire alarm system to install low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas to comply with fire code requirements. However, there are ongoing issues with the building's boiler system, with multiple violation notices issued in December 2024 regarding unpermitted boiler operation for two different units, following similar violations from October 2023 that were temporarily abated.

The building has undergone several significant maintenance upgrades over the years, including the installation of a new steam boiler system in 2016 (replacing an old unit from 1987), reroofing work in 2001, and various street space permits. Historical violations from 2001 included multiple fire safety and heating system issues, including problems with the fire escape ladder, combustible storage, and heating system controls, though these were eventually abated. The property has experienced a few infrastructure challenges in recent years, including two sewer backup incidents in 2020 and multiple fire safety violations between 2022 and 2024, though these have generally been addressed within reasonable timeframes. While there have been several 311 calls regarding the property (including issues with tree maintenance and parking violations), these appear to be primarily related to external and public space concerns rather than building-specific problems.

Risk rating

How 1700 North Point 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 988 buildings in this neighborhood, 939 are predicted to be safer.
