Initial analysis

The three-story, five-unit multi-family residential building at 1715 Broadway in Pacific Heights, constructed in 1900, has undergone several significant safety and infrastructure improvements in recent years. Most notably, the building completed mandatory soft-story seismic retrofitting in 2017 at a cost of $150,000, receiving its Certificate of Final Completion. The property has also prioritized fire safety, with the installation of a fire alarm system in 2020 ($12,850) and recent electrical upgrades including a kitchen rewiring project in 2017. The building's plumbing infrastructure has seen substantial improvements, with both partial and complete sewer replacements in 2022, including work on rain leaders and area drains, demonstrating ongoing maintenance of essential systems.

The property has a history of addressing compliance issues, including multiple building violations and complaints in the early 2000s related to window hardware, electrical outlets, and unauthorized renovations. These were primarily resolved by February 2005. More recent building complaints in 2017 regarding expired permits and construction hours were addressed, and the building's soft-story retrofit compliance has been confirmed. The most recent 311 calls from 2023-2024 have primarily concerned street cleaning and waste management issues outside the building, which were resolved by city services. The building's maintenance record shows regular attention to structural integrity and safety systems, with completed permits indicating proper addressing of both routine maintenance and required safety improvements.

Risk rating

How 1715 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
54th percentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 443 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.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

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 47.8%
Moderate concern 16.6%
Severe concern 35.6%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
