Initial analysis

3025 Steiner Street is a 2-story, 14-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1926, currently owned by New California Land Co. The building has undergone several significant upgrades and maintenance work over the years, most notably completing a mandatory soft-story seismic retrofit in 2016 (Tier 4) and a roofing project in 2018 costing $21,000. Significant infrastructure improvements include a foundation replacement attempt in 2008 (permit expired), electrical system upgrades in multiple units between 2004-2011, and the installation of a new hot water boiler in 2022. The building has a history of various maintenance issues that required attention, particularly in the early 2000s, including problems with interior surface damage, heating system failures, and plumbing problems, though all of these violations were abated by 2007.

The property has experienced recurring plumbing issues, particularly with sewer systems, as evidenced by multiple sewer backup incidents reported between 2016-2019, though these were generally resolved promptly. Recent inspections from 2011 and 2012 were routine and no violations were noted. The building's fire safety systems appear to have required attention in 2016, with two separate alarm system incidents being corrected. The most recent concerns regarding hazardous materials and combustible materials from September 2022 were found to have "No Merit." The property has undergone various unit-specific repairs and upgrades, including window replacements, electrical system improvements, and bathroom renovations. While the building's historical maintenance record shows periods of various issues requiring attention, recent years have shown a more proactive approach to building maintenance and compliance with safety regulations.

Risk rating

How 3025 Steiner 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, 654 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.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

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 72.0%
Moderate concern 18.0%
Severe concern 10.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
