Initial analysis

The 12-unit, three-story apartment building at 2823 Baker Street in Cow Hollow has undergone several significant upgrades and maintenance work since its construction in 1928, with particular attention to seismic safety and fire safety systems. Recent work includes a stair correction project in November 2023 focusing on egress improvements, and the building has completed mandatory seismic upgrades in 2004, which involved reinforcing walls and installing moment frames. The building has seen consistent maintenance of essential systems, including a new roof installation in 2017 (though there was a complaint about lack of permit for this work), plumbing upgrades in 2009 that included a new water heater, storage tank, and laundry facilities, and various fire safety equipment maintenance.

Historical compliance issues have been addressed, with most violations abated, including multiple fire safety citations regarding extinguishers, alarm systems, and exit maintenance between 2010 and 2023. The building was part of San Francisco's mandatory Soft Story Retrofit Program, which generated violations in 2017 that were ultimately resolved by January 2018. Past water temperature control issues were reported in 2010, but the building's more recent maintenance record suggests improved systems. The property has undergone routine housing inspections, with most issues being promptly addressed. Recent exterior maintenance and neighborhood issues are primarily related to typical urban challenges, including graffiti, sidewalk defects, and noise complaints, though these are not directly related to building safety or maintenance.

Risk rating

How 2823 Baker 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
20th percentile

Out of 861 buildings in this neighborhood, 689 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 36.7%
Moderate concern 35.6%
Severe concern 27.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
