Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1389-1391 Baker Street in Lower Pacific Heights is a 2-story flats and duplex structure built in 1904, currently owned by the Batelli Family Trust. The property has undergone significant renovation and maintenance work, particularly in the early 2000s, when major structural improvements were implemented including a comprehensive seismic upgrade and foundation replacement project in 2002 that cost $150,000, followed by additional foundation work and bathroom remodeling. The building received a complete electrical system upgrade in December 2002, involving new wiring, receptacles, lighting, and switches throughout the entire building. Earlier renovations from the late 1990s included kitchen and bathroom remodeling projects, though some permits from that period expired without completion.

The building has a documented history of a single building complaint in January 2001 regarding a defective doorbell, which was promptly resolved within two weeks. More recently, there have been multiple 311 calls (approximately 10) between December 2024 and August 2025, primarily related to garbage, debris, and street cleaning issues, though these appear to be routine municipal service requests rather than building-specific problems. Of particular note is a building fire incident recorded as a "111 Building fire" with ignition caused by equipment or heat source, though no civilian injuries were reported and no date was specified in the available records. The most recent activity involves several street cleaning and debris removal requests in early 2025, which were all resolved, including multiple reports of Christmas tree and general debris issues in January 2025, suggesting these were seasonal matters rather than ongoing building maintenance concerns.

Risk rating

How 1389-1391 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.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 670 buildings in this neighborhood, 47 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.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 87.2%
Moderate concern 9.5%
Severe concern 3.3%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
