Initial analysis

The 12-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 1695 Beach Street, owned by North Point Investments LLC, was constructed in 1931 and has undergone several significant upgrades in recent years to maintain safety and modern standards. Most notably, a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade was completed in July 2024, including new panels and compatible devices, at a cost of $46,872. Other recent major improvements include a $49,000 re-roofing project in 2017 and a complete apartment remodel in 2016 (Unit 102) that included kitchen and bathroom renovations, electrical upgrades, and plumbing work totaling $32,000. The building has a documented history of electrical system improvements from 2000 to 2016, primarily focusing on kitchen renovations in multiple units including new panels, lights, switches, and receptacles.

The property has experienced several building violations related to fire safety and security between 2001 and 2014, including issues with fire extinguishers, fire escape maintenance, and door security features, though all were promptly addressed and abated. Three fire-related complaints regarding sprinkler/standpipe systems were filed between 2023 and 2024, but were found to have no merit. The building has had four instances of fire alarm activation/smoke detector response over the years, all determined to be either malfunction or unintentional activation with no injuries reported. Recent 311 calls primarily involve exterior maintenance issues such as graffiti removal and parking enforcement matters, while the most recent building-related concerns are a noise complaint (June 2024) and garbage/cleaning issues (November 2024). The property has successfully completed all required inspections and permit renewals, including a 2007 renewal for final inspection that follows all appropriate protocols.

Risk rating

How 1695 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
5th percentile

Out of 988 buildings in this neighborhood, 939 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 26.6%
Moderate concern 52.5%
Severe concern 20.9%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
