Initial analysis

Located in San Francisco's Marina neighborhood, 3230 Broderick Street is a 2-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1928, currently owned by Pacific Broderick LLC. The property has undergone significant recent renovations, with major improvements completed between 2021-2022 including a comprehensive kitchen and bathroom remodel ($211,000), window replacements, and substantial plumbing and electrical upgrades. The electrical system received particular attention, with a 200-amp service upgrade and full rewiring completed in December 2021, followed by a 100-amp main panel replacement in August 2022. Other notable improvements include the installation of an 80% heating system (January 2022), shower pan installation (March 2022), and various bathroom/kitchen renovations across both units.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to structural integrity, with historical records indicating foundation bolting (1989), termite damage repairs (1987), and earlier projects such as dry rot repairs (2000) and reroofing (1997). A pair of fire safety complaints in late 2017 regarding blocked exits were resolved within two months, and the Planning Department has confirmed that "rooms down" as a policy is no longer enforced, with no impact on the property's usable space. The property has experienced recurring issues with blocked driveways, particularly prevalent in 2024, as evidenced by multiple parking enforcement citations. While this affects street accessibility, it does not directly impact the building's internal conditions. Recent sidewalk maintenance issues including hazardous materials and waste removal were addressed by the Department of Public Works in early 2024.

Risk rating

How 3230 Broderick 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
87th percentile

Out of 988 buildings in this neighborhood, 128 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.

Neighborhood location

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

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Notices of Violation, owner's portfolio

DBI NOVs across all buildings this owner is registered on — a signal of systemic maintenance issues across the portfolio.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 88.8%
Moderate concern 9.0%
Severe concern 2.2%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
