Initial analysis

The 15-unit, 3-story apartment building at 1745 Beach Street in the Marina neighborhood has undergone significant improvements since its construction in 1929, most notably completing mandatory soft-story seismic retrofitting in 2015. Recent upgrades include a comprehensive fire alarm system improvement in 2023 to comply with California Fire Marshal requirements, and the completion of multiple unit renovations, including Unit 7 in 2022 (kitchen and bathroom), Unit 8 in 2019 (kitchen and bathroom), and Unit 3 in 2019 (windows, kitchen, and bathroom). The building has received regular maintenance attention, including reroofing in 2016, various unit renovations (Units 4, 5, 9, 10, and 16), and infrastructure upgrades such as a new domestic boiler installation in 2013.

The property has experienced several fire alarm system activations due to malfunction (2019, 2022) and two documented fire complaints regarding alarm systems, though these were all resolved with no injuries reported. Historical boiler permit violations were recorded in 2005 and 2010 but were promptly addressed within months of filing. The building's maintenance record shows consistent attention to plumbing and electrical systems, with multiple unit repipe projects and electrical rewiring completed between 2013-2022. Recent activity (2023-2024) has primarily involved parking-related issues outside the building, with several citations issued for illegal parking and driveway blocking, though these are not building-related concerns. The building's fire safety systems have been actively maintained, with regular updates and corrections following fire department inspections.

Risk rating

How 1745 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.

NOV rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building NOV rate across everything this owner manages — high rates signal pattern neglect.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 40.5%
Moderate concern 42.9%
Severe concern 16.6%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
