Initial analysis

The 24-unit, 3-story apartment building at 1775 Ofarrell St, owned by Sestri Trust, was constructed in 1925 and has undergone several significant improvements over the past decades. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story seismic upgrade in 2014, which included the installation of moment frames at the first floor, and in 2020, the fire alarm system was upgraded at a cost of $30,000. The building has experienced recurring issues with its fire safety systems, particularly in 2023-2024, when multiple violations were recorded for sleeping area requirements, alarm systems, and various fire safety features including extinguishers, blocked exits, and street numbering. While many of these violations were promptly corrected, some remain open, including a sleeping area requirements violation from November 2023.

The building has a documented history of maintenance and repairs, including termite and dry rot damage repairs in 2003, though earlier permits from the 1980s for health club facilities and underpinning work are now considered expired. Regular safety inspections have been conducted throughout the years, with the most recent routine inspection occurring in 2018. The property has also experienced typical urban challenges in its immediate surroundings, as evidenced by numerous 311 calls in January 2025 regarding garbage and debris, though these are external to the building itself. The building's fire incident history shows several alarm activations, mostly due to system malfunctions or being unintentional, with no civilian injuries reported. The property is classified as a Tier 2 soft-story building, indicating that the seismic retrofit work has been completed and a Certificate of Final Completion (CFC) has been issued.

Risk rating

How 1775 Ofarrell 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
31th percentile

Out of 167 buildings in this neighborhood, 115 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.

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 33.7%
Moderate concern 52.1%
Severe concern 14.1%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
