Initial analysis

820 Presidio Avenue is a 5-story, 50-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 2017, currently owned by Booker T Washington Communi. The building has undergone several significant improvements and maintenance work since its opening, with the most recent development being a bike storage reconfiguration in August 2024 to comply with enforcement requirements, creating 25 bike spaces with proper security features. The property experienced notable infrastructure challenges in early 2019, including a hot water availability issue that affected residents during morning hours, which was briefly reported to management. A separate boiler permit violation was recorded in October 2018, though this was resolved by October 2019. The building's safety systems have been regularly updated, including a complete fire alarm system installation in 2017, emergency responder communications system in 2021, and various electrical upgrades such as hand dryer installations in 2021 and walk-in freezer power installation in 2024. Additional improvements include the installation of two boilers in 2017, HVAC controls, and various plumbing updates.

The property's history shows consistent maintenance and upgrading of essential systems, with careful attention to compliance with city regulations. The building has received several street space permits throughout 2017, and modifications were made to enhance community amenities, including the installation of an ADA-compliant playground in 2017. A notable external issue was reported in September 2017 regarding damage to the building caused by neighboring property work, though this complaint does not indicate whether it was ultimately resolved. Recent infrastructure improvements, including the addition of new hand dryers and HVAC updates, demonstrate ongoing commitment to maintaining building systems, while the recent bike storage upgrade reflects attention to resident needs and sustainable transportation options.

Risk rating

How 800 Presidio 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 670 buildings in this neighborhood, 650 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.

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 10.2%
Moderate concern 84.0%
Severe concern 5.8%
