Initial analysis

The 12-unit, three-story apartment building at 75 Heather Avenue, owned by Dilena Family LLC, was constructed in 1951 and has undergone several significant improvements over the years. Most notably, the building completed a substantial $105,000 soft-story retrofit in 2016 to enhance seismic safety, which was classified as a Tier 3 retrofit under San Francisco's mandatory program. The building has maintained its infrastructure through various improvements, including the installation of 24 bronze windows in 1986, solar water heating in 2010, and reroofing work in 1993. A notable fire safety violation occurred in late 2008 during a routine inspection, when issues were identified with the garage ceiling and alarm system certification - though these violations were promptly addressed and abated by February 2009.

The property has experienced recurring fire alarm system-related issues, with the most recent complaint in June 2023 and previous occurrences in 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2006 - most of which were resolved by correcting the identified conditions. While there have been multiple 311 calls regarding street lighting issues (with three consecutive outages in January 2015), parking enforcement matters, and occasional sidewalk-related concerns, these have generally been promptly addressed. The most recent building-related incidents have involved two reported cases of sidewalk parking in July 2023 and a driveway blockage in April 2021, though these enforcement actions resulted in varying resolutions. The building's maintenance record shows attention to both safety requirements and general upkeep, with regular responses to identified issues and compliance with major safety retrofit programs.

Risk rating

How 75 Heather Ave'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

Out of 272 buildings in this neighborhood, 245 are predicted to be safer.
