Initial analysis

The 5-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 3315 Octavia St in the Marina neighborhood, owned by Riccardo LLC, has been through several significant events since its construction in 1924. Most recently, in late 2023, fire safety compliance issues were identified regarding extinguishers and sprinkler/standpipe systems, with violations issued and corrected promptly. The building completed its seismic retrofit as a Tier 3 soft story property in 2015, demonstrating commitment to structural safety, and has undergone multiple unit improvements, including a substantial 2017 renovation of kitchen and bathroom facilities worth $30,000 with corresponding plumbing and electrical upgrades. Other notable maintenance work includes the 2022 voluntary repair of a rear staircase due to dry rot, and a 2021 hot water storage tank replacement.

The property has faced several challenges over the years, particularly during a 2016 retrofit period that generated multiple complaints about potential lead dust, hazardous materials, and raw sewage issues, though these were promptly addressed. There were also some fire system concerns in 2016-2019, all of which were resolved. Recent maintenance records show regular upkeep, including the installation of new fire alarm system components in 2022. The building's plumbing systems have required attention at various times, with the most recent sewage back-up issue reported in October 2024 being the latest operational concern. Regular building violations from 2007-2017 regarding safety requirements (e.g., carbon monoxide detectors, gas shutoff tools) were all eventually abated, indicating responsive management to regulatory requirements.

Risk rating

How 3315 Octavia 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
36th percentile

Out of 988 buildings in this neighborhood, 632 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.

Number of units

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

Property class: multi-family flat

2–4 unit flats (class F) are a common SF building type with their own maintenance and complaint patterns.

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 55.4%
Moderate concern 19.9%
Severe concern 24.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
