Initial analysis

The property at 2904-2914 Octavia Street is a 4-story, 6-unit multi-family residential building with ground-level commercial space, constructed in 1909 and currently owned by Flora Oltranti Gst Exempt T. The building is undergoing accessibility upgrades as evidenced by multiple permits filed in 2023 (specifically in March and April) to comply with the accessible business entrance program per ordinance 51-16, following previous work initiated under permit 202208243100. A notable history of building complaints was recorded between 2000 and 2008, primarily concerning unauthorized construction work, with four separate incidents of unpermitted construction work reported between 2001 and 2008. Window upgrades were completed in 2011, involving the replacement of rear building windows with energy-efficient vinyl windows meeting current safety requirements.

The building's maintenance and environmental history includes regular street cleaning and waste management issues documented through 311 calls, with the most recent complaint regarding a blocked sidewalk recorded in December 2024. A single building violation was noted in 2000 concerning egress obstruction, which was abated in 2009. The planning records reveal several significant decisions, including the approval of a Type-85 ABC license for retail sales in 2007 and a successful petition in 1998 to remove a termination date for a print shop operation in an RH-3 district. Two attempts in 1996 and 2008 to legalize a rear penthouse structure were disapproved. The property has undergone various routine maintenance and accessibility improvements over the years, with no active violations or complaints as of the most recent records.

Risk rating

How 2904-2914 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, 646 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.

Number of floors

Building height affects maintenance complexity and is one of the size signals the model uses.

Building age

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 57.8%
Moderate concern 20.7%
Severe concern 21.5%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
