Initial analysis

The 15-unit, three-story apartment building at 95 Cervantes Blvd in the Marina district, built in 1926, has undergone several significant safety upgrades and maintenance projects in recent years. Most notably, in 2024, the building completed a fire alarm system upgrade costing approximately $27,440 to comply with current fire code requirements, which included installing low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas and updating all existing devices. The building has also successfully completed mandatory seismic retrofitting as a soft-story building (Tier 4) with a $105,000 upgrade, demonstrating compliance with San Francisco's seismic safety requirements. Historical maintenance records reveal past issues with water damage and ceiling repairs in 2008, and a steam boiler permit violation in 2004, both of which have since been resolved.

The building's fire safety history shows a pattern of alarm system activations, mainly due to malfunctioning equipment, though these incidents have consistently been resolved promptly. There have been some concerning incidents recorded, including a carbon monoxide incident and a natural gas leak, though fortunately, there were no civilian injuries reported in any fire-related events. Recent months (August-September 2024) have seen multiple parking enforcement actions in the vicinity of the building, with several citations issued for illegal parking, suggesting ongoing challenges with parking management in the area. The most recent building permit records indicate active maintenance and upgrading of the property's fire safety systems, with no current open violations or unresolved complaints, suggesting improved building management and maintenance practices in recent years.

Risk rating

How 95 Cervantes Blvd'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

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.

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.

12-Month severity forecast

Moderate concern 32.4%
Severe concern 29.8%
