Initial analysis

The 21-unit apartment building at 3155 Broderick Street in the Marina neighborhood, owned by Olive Grove Capital LP, was constructed in 1927 and is a 3-story multi-family residential structure. The building has undergone several significant safety and modernization upgrades in recent years, including a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade in 2024 costing $63,128, completion of the mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2022 following compliance issues, and the replacement of its main electrical panel in late 2024. The building's maintenance history shows regular unit improvements, with documented renovations in multiple apartments including kitchen and bathroom upgrades, window replacements, and plumbing and electrical work between 2010 and 2018.

While the building has generally maintained compliance with safety requirements, there is currently an open fire violation from December 2023 related to sleeping area requirements that was issued and remains unresolved as of October 2023. The property has experienced periodic maintenance and compliance issues in the past, including multiple fire safety citations in 2003 (later abated) and a 2019 complaint regarding soft-story retrofit compliance that led to subsequent permit work. The building's management has undertaken proper remediation of most violations, with the exception of the recent sleeping area issue. Since 2018, there was one documented tenant buyout for $73,000. The property has also experienced regular maintenance responses to street-related issues as evidenced by 311 calls, though these are primarily related to external conditions rather than building safety or habitability concerns.

Risk rating

How 3155 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.
