Initial analysis

The 16-unit, 4-story multi-family residential building at 1 Toledo Way in the Marina neighborhood, owned by Romel California LLC, has undergone significant improvements since 2018, most notably the addition of five Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) on the ground floor and a comprehensive fire safety upgrade. The building completed important safety enhancements in 2018 including the installation of a new addressable fire alarm system with multiple safety devices, a fire sprinkler system, and associated electrical work totaling over $45,000. The property has demonstrated ongoing maintenance, with recent permits showing reroofing work in 2022 ($28,500) and kitchen remodels in units #5 and #7 in 2021 ($20,000).

The building's history reveals several notable events, including multiple fire alarm system activations (mostly false alarms) between 2015 and 2020, and a gas leak incident which was promptly responded to with no injuries reported. A cluster of building violations was recorded in November 2021, including issues with water damage, light fixtures, roofing weatherproofing, dilapidated wood flooring, and other maintenance concerns, though these were subsequently addressed. The property has maintained compliance with soft-story retrofit requirements, receiving its CFC certification, and has undergone various utility improvements including a new steam boiler installation (2009) and common area electrical upgrades (2018). Recent activity (2024) near the building has mainly consisted of street cleaning and parking enforcement calls, suggesting active management of public space maintenance.

Risk rating

How 1 Toledo 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.

Neighborhood percentile
6th percentile

Out of 988 buildings in this neighborhood, 929 are predicted to be safer.
