Initial analysis

The three-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 1657 North Point Street in the Marina neighborhood, owned by Deanna De Martini Melchior, was constructed in 1937 and has a significant maintenance history spanning several decades. The building underwent seismic structural upgrading in 1990, which is a notable safety improvement for this two-story structure. Multiple roofing projects were completed throughout the 1980s and 1990s, with records showing reroofing work in 1989, 1991, and again in 2000, demonstrating regular maintenance of this critical building component. In 2004, vinyl siding was installed on several exterior walls, further updating the building's envelope.

Of particular concern to resident safety, the building experienced a series of fire-related violations in 2002-2003, including issues with combustible storage and the absence of automatic fire sprinklers, though these violations were marked as abated by April 2003. The property has maintained good general upkeep since then, with no building violations recorded in recent years. More recently, there has been an ongoing issue with parking enforcement around the property, particularly regarding driveway blocking, with eight documented incidents between July and October 2024, resulting in several citations being issued. While these parking issues are not directly related to the building's habitability, they may impact resident convenience. There was one false fire alarm incident recorded in the system, but no actual fire events have been reported.

Risk rating

How 1657 North Point 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
68th percentile

Out of 988 buildings in this neighborhood, 316 are predicted to be safer.
