Initial analysis

1915 Baker Street is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Scarpulla Associates and located in Pacific Heights. The property has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, most notably the installation of solar PV systems on all four units in late 2009, and major maintenance work including window replacement (2014, $14,000) and roofing projects completed in 2009 ($14,000). Of particular importance is the building's foundation repair work completed in 2009 ($9,500), which is a critical structural improvement. The building experienced multiple fire safety inspections between 2002 and 2021, with all identified issues resolved including fire escape and alarm system concerns in 2012 and 2021. While there were several violations noted in 2002 regarding safety features (smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, security devices), all were promptly abated by November 2002.

The property has been regularly subject to routine housing inspections, with records dating back to 1999. While there have been two documented fire incidents (a smoke scare and a false alarm), neither resulted in injuries. Recent maintenance issues have been minimal, with only periodic problems related to parking enforcement and some infrastructure maintenance noted through 311 calls, primarily regarding debris and graffiti (all resolved). The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of regular upkeep and improvement, with no active violations or ongoing maintenance issues as of the most recent inspection records. The solar installation from 2009 represents a significant investment in sustainable energy infrastructure, with each unit equipped with 7 modules and individual inverters.

Risk rating

How 1915 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
53th percentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 453 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.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Building age

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 59.5%
Moderate concern 24.5%
Severe concern 16.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
