Initial analysis

65 Cervantes Blvd is a three-story, 12-unit multi-family residential building located in the Marina neighborhood, built in 1928 and currently owned by the Orsi Family Trust. The property has undergone several significant safety and infrastructure improvements over the past decade, with the most recent being a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade in early 2025, including a new panel, low-frequency horns, and wireless monitoring capabilities with a cost of $23,400. The building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2018 (Tier 4) at a cost of $80,000, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements. Other notable improvements include a window replacement project in 2018 (36 windows in the rear building), installation of a Ufer ground system (2019), and various electrical upgrades.

The building has a history of addressing maintenance and safety concerns, with all four building violations filed in 2006 - including issues with stairs and exit door locks - being resolved by August 2006. While there have been multiple 311 calls regarding parking and vehicle issues in the vicinity, these are primarily street-related matters rather than building-specific concerns. The property also experienced a brief water-related incident in 2021 involving a fire hydrant. Historical records show typical residential maintenance activities, including a 1995 repair of dry rot issues and a 1992 kitchen remodeling project, though these are considerably dated compared to recent improvements. Through regular inspections and upgrades, the building appears to have maintained compliance with current safety requirements, with no active violations on file.

Risk rating

How 65 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.
