Initial analysis

The 18-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 1900 Beach Street in the Marina neighborhood, owned by Chas J Grisez Co Lp, has undergone numerous improvements and faced several maintenance challenges since its construction in 1936. Most recently, in December 2024, an upgrade to the fire alarm system was permitted at a cost of $45,900 to meet current safety codes. The building has a history of window improvements, with multiple retrofit projects completed between 2008-2009 totaling approximately $17,000, and significant structural work including seismic strengthening in 1993 and reroofing in 2003.

The property has experienced periodic fire safety issues, with violations recorded for sleeping area requirements (2024), fire system certification (2007), and a fire extinguisher issue (2017). Historical violations from 2003-2004 relate to fire escape maintenance and egress obstructions, while 2014 brought concerns about gas shutoff tool accessibility. A notable recent fire safety concern was documented in December 2023 regarding sleeping area requirements. The building's maintenance record shows ongoing attention to various systems, as evidenced by the recent fire alarm upgrade. Outside the building itself, there has been considerable recent activity regarding illegal parking, with multiple citations issued between June and December 2024, suggesting ongoing challenges with parking management in the area.

Risk rating

How 1900 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
9th percentile

Out of 988 buildings in this neighborhood, 899 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.

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 44.8%
Severe concern 28.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
