Initial analysis

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 412-416 Laurel Street in Presidio Heights, owned by the Wertz Family Trust, has been standing since 1900 and has undergone several significant maintenance and compliance events throughout its history. Most notably, between 1997 and 2000, the building underwent multiple foundation underpinning projects, with one permit valued at $15,000, indicating previous structural concerns. In 2006, there was a reroofing project valued at $7,300 that generated a complaint from the neighboring property at 408 Laurel Street regarding potential damage. A significant cluster of building violations was recorded in April 2008 during a routine apartment inspection, primarily related to lead paint hazards and weatherproofing issues, though these were all abated by August 2008. The building's permitting history shows several street space permits between 2000 and 2017, with one recent permit issued in 2017, suggesting ongoing maintenance of public space access.

The property has undergone regular routine inspections by Housing Inspection Services in 2001, 2004, and 2008, with most issues being promptly addressed. In terms of recent issues, there have been several parking-related complaints in 2024, including multiple reports of damaged parking meters and driveway blockages, though these are external to the building's immediate condition. Two false fire alarm incidents were recorded at the address, but no injuries were reported. The building underwent a significant planning process related to a lot split under Section 121, which was approved with CEQA clearance, though this appears to have been processed as combining two substandard-sized lots of approximately 1,500 square feet each. The property's most recent major improvements appear to have occurred over 15 years ago, with no major structural or safety violations recorded in recent years.

Risk rating

How 412-416 Laurel 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
51th percentile

Out of 181 buildings in this neighborhood, 89 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.

Building age

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 68.2%
Moderate concern 23.2%
Severe concern 8.5%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
