Initial analysis

The Midtown Park Apartments (1450 Divisadero St) is a 140-unit, 4-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1963, currently owned by City Property. The building has undergone several significant safety upgrades in recent years, most notably a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade in 2024 to comply with SF Fire Code requirements, including the addition of low-frequency sounders in all sleeping areas. The property has experienced recurring fire safety system issues, with multiple violations and alarm system malfunctions recorded between 2017 and 2023, leading to the current open violation from October 2023 regarding sleeping area requirements. The building's systems have received considerable attention, with documented replacements of hydronic heat and domestic boilers between 2019 and 2021, though complaints about heating issues were reported in 2018, 2019, and most recently in February 2023.

The property's maintenance history shows consistent attention to infrastructure needs, including plumbing upgrades (with multiple boiler replacements) and electrical work, though some recent complaints indicate ongoing challenges with basic services. The building has experienced periodic habitability issues, particularly regarding heat maintenance and interior surface conditions, with violations recorded in 2000 and 2018 related to paint, mold, and mildew on walls, though these were subsequently abated. Accessibility improvements were initiated in 2022 to address barrier removal at the main entrance. The building's management has also faced challenges related to tenant comfort and system reliability, as evidenced by various complaints and work orders over recent years, including a 2023 leak complaint, construction noise complaints in early 2025, and problems with overgrown trees affecting windows in 2021. These issues, combined with the building's age and history of system upgrades, suggest ongoing maintenance challenges despite significant recent investments in safety systems and infrastructure improvements.

Risk rating

How 1450 Divisadero 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 167 buildings in this neighborhood, 155 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.

NOV rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building NOV rate across everything this owner manages — high rates signal pattern neglect.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 3.9%
Moderate concern 77.2%
Severe concern 18.9%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
