Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1453-1455 Francisco Street in San Francisco's Marina neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1923, currently owned by Michael A. Kelly. The property has undergone several significant renovations, with the most recent work currently underway in 2024 involving substantial kitchen and bathroom remodeling, including new cabinets, electrical work, and gas line modifications, with permits issued for both units totaling $218,000. This follows previous comprehensive renovations in 2007, which included kitchen and bathroom updates, plumbing work, a new roof installation, and electrical improvements with the addition of a 200-amp service. The building's infrastructure has been consistently maintained, with records showing a sewer line replacement in 2007 and multiple electrical system upgrades over the years, including the installation of new panels and extensive wiring work.

The property's maintenance history demonstrates regular upkeep and modernization efforts, with significant attention to electrical systems, plumbing, and interior improvements. The most recent major renovation work, which began in 2024, represents the building's ongoing commitment to maintaining and upgrading its facilities. A single 311 call from 2019 regarding a blocked bicycle lane near the property was recorded, but this was a parking enforcement issue unrelated to the building's condition or management. An earlier planning record from 2005-2006 mentioned potential for horizontal and vertical additions with an elevator and penthouse, though this appears to have been informational and may not have progressed to actual construction.

Risk rating

How 1453-1455 Francisco 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.
