Initial analysis

The 9-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 1830 Beach Street in the Marina neighborhood, owned by Deborah Parker, was constructed in 1927 and has undergone several significant infrastructure improvements over the past decades. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story seismic retrofit in 2017 (Tier 4), demonstrating compliance with San Francisco's earthquake safety requirements. Recent mechanical upgrades include the replacement of both the steam boiler (2020) and the domestic water heater (2019), along with a main water line replacement in 2018 and the installation of Ufer grounding for electrical safety.

The building has experienced periodic maintenance issues, particularly in 2016 when multiple violations were recorded concerning fire safety equipment, including fire escape ladders, fire extinguishers, and auxiliary lighting, though all were resolved by June 2016. Historical records show earlier structural work in the early 1990s related to earthquake damage repair in the garage area. Recent months have seen multiple reports of garbage and debris on the property, with seven such complaints between July and October 2024, as well as several parking enforcement requests for blocked driveways. The building's fire safety record shows four incident responses in the past few years, including elevator rescues and alarm activations, though none resulted in injuries or fires.

Risk rating

How 1830 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

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.

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 34.6%
Moderate concern 37.3%
Severe concern 28.1%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
