Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 154 Mallorca Way in the Marina neighborhood, owned by the Philip & Emmy Chan Trust, was constructed in 1926 and contains 8 units. The building has undergone several significant improvements over its lifetime, including a seismic upgrade in 1990 and reroofing work completed in 1998. More recent maintenance includes a sewer repair completed in 2012, along with three consecutive street space and sidewalk permits issued between 2008 and 2017, each costing $1.00.

The building's safety record shows one minor fire safety violation in 2002 regarding the maintenance of a fire escape drop ladder, which was promptly addressed and abated within weeks of being reported. Since that incident, there have been no recorded building violations or safety concerns related to the structure itself. The most recent activity associated with the property was a parking enforcement call in April 2024 regarding a blocked driveway, though this issue could not be validated by responding officers. While the building is of an age that typically requires ongoing maintenance, the documented permits and repairs suggest regular upkeep has been performed, with no significant safety or habitability issues reported in recent years.

Risk rating

How 154 Mallorca Way'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.

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.

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 38.0%
Moderate concern 31.5%
Severe concern 30.5%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
