Initial analysis

3415 Pierce Street is a three-story, 12-unit multi-family residential building located in the Marina neighborhood, owned by Thomas H & Deborah A Rivard and constructed in 1929. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the years, most notably completing a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2016 (as a Tier 4 building) at a cost of $80,000, and a reroofing project in 2011 costing $34,300. There were three building violations recorded in September 2004 related to fire safety, including fire escape maintenance and egress obstructions, as well as heating system issues, though all were promptly abated within a week.

Recent maintenance and service history shows attention to various building systems, with completed work on emergency lighting systems recorded in 2003 and two fire safety complaints in 2010 and 2017 relating to alarm systems and exit maintenance, respectively, both of which were resolved promptly. The building has required several street space permits in 2018, suggesting ongoing exterior maintenance or improvements. Recent municipal service calls (2021-2024) have primarily involved street cleaning and debris removal, including instances of garbage and abandoned furniture, though these are common urban issues not necessarily reflective of building conditions. A sewer issue was reported and resolved in 2019, and there was one instance of illegal posting in 2012 which was addressed. The property's historical permit and violation records indicate regular maintenance and prompt response to safety concerns, with no active violations or ongoing safety issues currently on record.

Risk rating

How 3415 Pierce 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

Out of 988 buildings in this neighborhood, 820 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.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 36.8%
Moderate concern 38.2%
Severe concern 25.1%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
