Initial analysis

The 9-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 748 Page Street, owned by SF Multifamily 1 LLC, has undergone significant renovations and improvements since 2017, including the successful addition of two accessory dwelling units (ADUs) in 2020, major electrical system upgrades, and comprehensive fire safety improvements. Recent building issues have raised concerns about maintenance and safety, particularly a 2024 complaint regarding a leaking pipe causing mold and floor problems in unit #2, and persistent problems with exterior maintenance and common area upkeep. The property faced serious safety concerns in early 2020, with multiple complaints about hazardous conditions in common stairways, ceiling leaks, and broken mailboxes that were reportedly not addressed promptly by management. Fire safety has been a focus, with violations noted in late 2021 regarding sprinkler and alarm systems, though these were subsequently abated. The building has completed its soft-story retrofit requirements, achieving Tier 4 compliance.

The property has a history of various maintenance and safety issues that have required attention over the years. Historical records from 2008 show multiple violations related to building safety, security, and maintenance, including problems with windows, walls, fire proofing, and sanitation, though these were all abated by May 2008. Recent improvements include several major electrical upgrades in 2020, installation of new fire systems, and comprehensive plumbing work throughout the building. Management has pulled multiple permits for unit renovations and building improvements between 2018 and 2020, including bathroom and kitchen remodels, fire safety systems, and structural improvements. However, recent complaints suggest ongoing issues with property maintenance and resident response times, particularly regarding water-related problems and common area upkeep.

Risk rating

How 748 Page 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 1027 buildings in this neighborhood, 1017 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.

Building size

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

NOV rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building NOV rate across everything this owner manages — high rates signal pattern neglect.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 7.5%
Moderate concern 76.1%
Severe concern 16.5%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
