Initial analysis

The 10-unit apartment building at 3053 Turk Blvd in the Lone Mountain neighborhood, owned by SF Bayview Partners LP, is a four-story structure built in 1957. The building has undergone significant renovations and safety upgrades over the past decade, most notably converting three single-car garage spaces into additional dwelling units in 2016 (increasing total units from 7 to 10) and completing mandatory soft-story seismic retrofitting as a Tier 3 building. Between 2017-2020, several units (1, 2, and 4) received kitchen and bathroom renovations, while major safety improvements included the installation of a new fire alarm system and fire sprinklers in 2018, totaling over $35,000 in safety upgrades.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to resident safety and comfort, though there have been some permit-related issues, including a 2022 incident involving an unpermitted window installation that prompted corrective work. A significant cluster of building violations was recorded in 2006-2014, primarily related to fire safety, stairway maintenance, and weatherproofing, but these were all abated by August 2014. Recent maintenance activities include window replacements in 2022 and ongoing repairs and system upgrades. The property has experienced periodic issues with its fire safety systems, as evidenced by multiple false alarm incidents recorded between 2017-2020, though none resulted in injuries or actual fires. Regular inspections and prompt response to violations suggest active management of the property, with particular emphasis on fire safety and building code compliance.

Risk rating

How 3053 Turk 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.
