Initial analysis

The 5-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 410-418 Locust Street in Presidio Heights, owned by Fode Dale & Mei, was constructed in 1900 and has undergone several significant renovations and faced various regulatory issues over the years. The most recent major work occurred in March-April 2024, when multiple fire safety concerns were identified and subsequently corrected, including issues with alarm systems, fire escapes, hazardous materials, blocked exits, exit maintenance, combustible materials, sprinkler systems, electrical systems, and fire extinguishers. These violations were all resolved within one month.

In 2011-2012, the property underwent substantial renovations including the installation of a fire sprinkler system, complete electrical rewiring, and extensive plumbing work involving the remodeling of eight bathrooms, four kitchens, and replacement of multiple systems. However, there were significant compliance issues during this period, including multiple violations for working without proper permits, unauthorized construction, and concrete work performed without inspections, which resulted in several notices of violation between 2008-2009. The building's systems were later updated with new furnaces, water heaters, and safety features, and more recent records indicate no active building violations. Recent activity from 2023-2024 has primarily consisted of maintenance issues, including garbage disposal complaints, graffiti removal, and various municipal service requests near the property, with the most significant being the 2024 fire safety corrections.

Risk rating

How 410-418 Locust 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
56th percentile

Out of 181 buildings in this neighborhood, 80 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.

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 61.0%
Moderate concern 16.8%
Severe concern 22.2%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
