Initial analysis

3810 Divisadero St is a three-story, 6-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Marina neighborhood, built in 1931 and currently owned by Joseph C Ng & Stella Ng Rev. The building underwent significant modifications between 2015-2018, including the legalization of a ground-level unit that restored the building from 5 to 6 units, along with comprehensive fire safety improvements. These improvements included the installation of a partial fire sprinkler system with 14 sprinklers, a new sprinkler monitoring system, and updates to the fire alarm system with new smoke detectors and pull stations.

Recent concerns have been documented regarding maintenance issues, including a 2022 complaint about ventilation problems and water leaks, as well as ongoing sidewalk maintenance concerns noted in April 2023 regarding a collapsed sidewalk, though inspectors found no qualifying conditions at that time. The building's maintenance history shows attention to safety systems, with regular updates to fire safety equipment and prompt responses to violations, including an annual alarm system certification issue in 2006 that was resolved within two months. Recent interior updates include kitchen and bathroom renovations completed in 2019. The property has experienced two minor fire-related incidents, one a false alarm and the other due to a smoke detector malfunction, neither resulting in injuries.

Risk rating

How 3810 Divisadero 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
26th percentile

Out of 988 buildings in this neighborhood, 731 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.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 30.4%
Moderate concern 41.7%
Severe concern 27.9%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
