Initial analysis

The three-story, 12-unit multi-family residential building at 430 Arguello Blvd, owned by Noreen O'neill Survivor's T, was constructed in 1972 and has undergone several significant safety updates over its lifetime. Most recently, in April 2024, the building was permitted to upgrade its fire alarm system to comply with 2022 NFPA 72 requirements, including the installation of new monitoring equipment, smoke detectors, and low-frequency sounders in sleeping rooms. The building has a documented history of fire safety concerns, with multiple fire-related complaints between 2006 and 2022, including issues with alarm systems, sprinklers, exit maintenance, and blocked exits, though all these issues were marked as "Condition Corrected." Three routine safety inspections were conducted between 2000 and 2016, with specific violations noted in December 2007 regarding fire escape ladders, roof access door security, and gas utility shutoff tools - all of which were abated by March 2008.

The building underwent reroofing work in 1997 and again in 2016 (with a cost of $50,000), indicating regular maintenance of building infrastructure. Recent activity around the property has primarily involved external issues such as illegal postings, parking concerns, and street maintenance matters, with the most recent service requests occurring in late 2024. The building's fire incident record shows several system activations and minor incidents, including a cooking fire and elevator rescue, but notably, there have been no civilian injuries reported in any incidents. The property has maintained consistent attention to resolving violations and safety concerns, with all known issues being addressed within reasonable timeframes according to available documentation.

Risk rating

How 430 Arguello Blvd'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
