Initial analysis

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 3016-3020 Octavia Street in Cow Hollow, owned by Flora Oltranti Gst Exempt T, was constructed in 1908 and has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades. The most recent major renovation attempt was a cancelled $30,000 kitchen and bathroom remodel in unit 3016 in late 2020, while completed improvements include comprehensive work on the third floor in 2015 involving kitchen and bathroom remodeling, electrical upgrades (including new lights, switches, receptacles, and smoke detectors), and window replacement. The building underwent important structural reinforcement in early 2018, with the installation of foundation bolts and hold-downs at the rear, demonstrating attention to seismic safety.

Historically, the building faced some maintenance and safety issues that have since been resolved. In 2001-2002, there were violations related to unauthorized construction of back stairs, damaged ceilings, and missing self-closing devices at exterior doors, all of which were abated by September 2009. More recent concerns near the property include multiple reports of abandoned furniture and debris (most recently in 2025), medical waste (2024), and excessive noise (open case in 2024), indicating some ongoing environmental challenges in the immediate vicinity. The building has received regular maintenance attention, including a complete reroofing project in 2015 costing $12,500, and various street space permits have been issued over the years.

Risk rating

How 3016-3020 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

Out of 861 buildings in this neighborhood, 370 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.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

DBI complaints, owner's portfolio

Complaints across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 74.1%
Moderate concern 18.5%
Severe concern 7.5%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
