Initial analysis

The 6-unit apartment building at 125 Cervantes Blvd in the Marina district, owned by the Huey Family Trust, is a 3-story structure built in 1928. The property has undergone several significant safety upgrades in recent years, most notably a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade completed in 2023 that included low frequency sounders in sleeping areas, followed by an additional fire alarm system upgrade in March 2024 costing $38,251 to comply with sprinkler requirements. The building has a history of addressing maintenance issues, including a sewer pipe repair in 2015 and water heater installation in 2013 to resolve code compliance issues. Electrical infrastructure improvements were completed in 2003, including a 400-amp service upgrade and a survey.

The building experienced several violations in 2013 related to heating and hot water systems, which were promptly addressed within two months of being cited. A 2006 fire safety violation regarding a smoke enclosure door closer was also resolved. The property's maintenance record shows attention to structural elements, with historical roofing work documented in 1989 and 1997. Recent parking management issues have been noted, with multiple reports of driveway blocking between November 2024 and January 2025, some resulting in citations. The building has registered three fire alarm activations and one carbon monoxide detector test, none resulting in injuries or actual emergencies. This pattern of regular maintenance and prompt response to violations suggests active management, though the building's age (95 years old as of 2023) means ongoing maintenance requirements can be expected.

Risk rating

How 125 Cervantes Blvd'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
