Initial analysis

80 Retiro Way is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building located in the Marina neighborhood, constructed in 1929 and currently owned by the Victoria P Martin Irrevocable Trust. The building has undergone significant upgrades in recent years, with the most notable improvements occurring in 2010-2011, including comprehensive renovations to all four kitchens, bathroom upgrades, installation of washer/dryer units, window repairs, and electrical system improvements across all units, including new sub-panels and various appliances. More recently, in 2021, the building received a major mechanical upgrade with the installation of a new Peerless boiler system. Earlier maintenance work included reroofing in 2011 and bathroom remodeling in 2011.

The building's history shows some regulatory challenges, particularly regarding boiler operation permits, with violations noted in 2002, 2013, and 2017, though all these issues were eventually abated. Recent activity around the property has primarily involved parking and street cleaning matters, with multiple reports of abandoned vehicles and illegal parking incidents between 2022 and 2024, though these external issues are not directly related to the building's condition or safety. The building has experienced three fire-related incidents, all of which were either false alarms or public service calls with no civilian injuries reported. The extensive renovation work completed in recent years, particularly the 2020-2021 mechanical upgrades and earlier comprehensive unit renovations, suggests that the building has received significant attention to improve resident comfort and safety, though prospective tenants should note the building's vintage status and the historical boiler permit issues from previous years.

Risk rating

How 80 Retiro Way'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
47th percentile

Out of 988 buildings in this neighborhood, 524 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.

Number of units

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

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 64.0%
Moderate concern 8.8%
Severe concern 27.2%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
