Initial analysis

The 136-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 1400-1464 Baker Street, constructed in 1943, has experienced a series of significant issues and improvements over recent years. Most notably, between 2018 and 2019, the building underwent substantial safety upgrades including the installation of a new fire alarm system with control panel, smoke detectors, pull stations, and low-frequency sounders in all units, along with comprehensive electrical and plumbing improvements including water heater replacements and sewer repairs. However, more recent history shows concerning recurring maintenance issues, particularly relating to moisture problems, as evidenced by multiple complaints in 2024 regarding leaks, mold, and inadequate heating. The building has also faced recurring fire safety system violations, with multiple citations between 2019-2020 for alarm and sprinkler system maintenance issues, though these were eventually abated.

Recent tenant complaints indicate persistent quality of life challenges, including a notable incident in July 2023 involving a complete water outage that affected multiple disabled and elderly residents. Additional 2024 complaints have documented problems with heat, electrical systems, and moisture control, including reports of mold affecting living spaces and personal belongings. The building's management has resolved some issues through permits and repairs, such as installing new boilers and water heaters, though some tenant-reported problems have required multiple complaints before receiving attention. The property underwent various improvements during the 2018-2019 period including playground renovation and interior upgrades, but recent maintenance responses suggest ongoing challenges with addressing resident concerns in a timely manner.

Risk rating

How 1400-1464 Baker 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.
