Initial analysis

960 Bay Street is a 3-story, 12-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1927 and currently owned by West Moon Holdings LLC. The property has undergone several significant upgrades in recent years, most notably a 400-amp electrical service upgrade with 13 meter sockets completed in December 2022, and the installation of fire alarm notification devices in 2022 to comply with San Francisco Fire Code requirements. The building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2015, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements. Recent unit improvements include a comprehensive remodel of Unit 6 in 2021 ($40,000) that added a bathroom, created a new bedroom, and updated the kitchen, as well as earlier renovations in 2020 involving bathroom and kitchen updates.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to both safety and comfort concerns, including multiple window replacements (2007) and a reroofing project (2014). Several complaints were filed in 2008-2012 regarding various maintenance issues such as lead paint concerns, weatherproofing problems, and interior surface conditions, though these were all officially abated by August 2012. More recent complaints have primarily focused on construction-related issues, with several 311 calls regarding unauthorized work and noise in 2020-2022, though these matters appear to have been resolved. The property also experienced electrical and safety concerns in 2015, with reports of inoperative electrical systems and lack of lighting in the garage and back stairwell, which were addressed promptly.

Risk rating

How 960 Bay 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
3th percentile

Out of 1133 buildings in this neighborhood, 1099 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 6.4%
Moderate concern 49.9%
Severe concern 43.6%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
