Initial analysis

The three-story, 15-unit apartment building at 999 Laguna Street in the Western Addition, owned by Augusto & Rosa Navarrette F, has undergone significant recent activity, particularly related to its rooftop telecommunications facility. Most notably, recent installations include a $55,000 antenna upgrade completed in November 2023, following previous major telecommunications work in 2017 ($250,000) and 2020 ($36,000). The building complied with mandatory soft-story seismic retrofitting completed in 2017, addressing structural safety requirements.

The property has experienced recurring maintenance and habitability issues over the past decade, with multiple tenant complaints indicating problems such as water leaks, mold, and heating system failures. A significant pattern of maintenance challenges is evident, with complaints about water damage, plumbing issues, and building systems dating back to 2011 continuing through to 2024. Recent complaints from 2024 mention damaged laminate flooring, incomplete exterior wall repairs, an exposed bathroom fan with electrical issues, and water damage in the garage. The building's fire safety history shows several violations between 2015-2029 related to blocked exits, alarm systems, and emergency preparedness, though most have been resolved. While the property has maintained its required seismic retrofitting status and completed various structural improvements, the recurring nature of habitability issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. Recent electrical system upgrades in 2024 and completion of multiple building improvements indicate active management response to infrastructure needs, particularly regarding the telecommunications equipment that generates significant revenue for the property.

Risk rating

How 999 Laguna 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 167 buildings in this neighborhood, 107 are predicted to be safer.
