Initial analysis

The property at 1737-1739 Broadway is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building located in Pacific Heights, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Dennis & Michelle Trimble T. The building has undergone several significant modifications over its history, most notably in the 1990s when there was a concerted effort to bring the building into compliance with code requirements. This included converting one of the four units from storage back to its original legal use in 1996 with a $30,000 investment, followed by subsequent related work in 1997-1998. The building has undergone periodic routine inspections by Housing Inspection Services, with the most recent significant compliance issues arising from a 2015 inspection that resulted in four violations requiring compliance affidavits, all of which were abated by March 2016.

Recent records from 2018-2024 primarily consist of external issues affecting the property, including multiple reports of driveway blocking, sidewalk defects, and street-related concerns such as encampments and hazardous materials. There are indications of ongoing compliance monitoring, with two active complaints from 1996 relating to unauthorized unit modifications that remain unresolved in the current records. The building's maintenance history shows attention to basic upkeep, including a roof replacement attempt in 1998 (permit expired) and various routine maintenance issues such as lighting repairs and sidewalk maintenance, which have generally been addressed according to responsive service records.

Risk rating

How 1737-1739 Broadway'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
57th percentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 414 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 age

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

Director's hearing rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building rate of director's hearings across the owner's portfolio.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 59.9%
Moderate concern 14.5%
Severe concern 25.6%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
