Initial analysis

The three-story, six-unit apartment building at 900-910 Central Ave in Park North, owned by Valerie Katherine Evans Rev, has undergone several significant structural and safety improvements since its construction in 1907. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2015 (cost: $79,380) to improve seismic safety, followed by exterior repairs in 2017 that included replacing rotted siding and stairs in lightwells and on the rear of the building (cost: $60,000). In 2017, the building experienced multiple housing code violations that were subsequently addressed and abated by January 2018, including issues with water damage, exterior stairs, windows, and paint hazards. The building's electrical infrastructure has been substantially upgraded, with the installation of a new 200-amp service and seven-meter system in 2010, followed by various electrical improvements in 2016 including garage modifications and grounding systems.

The property has a documented history of maintenance challenges and safety incidents, particularly during 2017 when multiple complaints were filed regarding water intrusion, structural problems, and emergency egress issues. There have been four fire-related incidents on record, including carbon monoxide and gas leak incidents, though none resulted in civilian injuries. Recent concerns have primarily focused on exterior maintenance, with multiple 311 calls in 2024 regarding garbage and debris, sidewalk defects, and graffiti on mailboxes. While these issues are not directly related to building safety, they indicate ongoing property management challenges. The building's historical records show consistent efforts to address maintenance issues, with most violations being resolved through appropriate repairs and upgrades, including addressing multiple building code violations filed in 2017 through official channels and hearings.

Risk rating

How 900-910 Central 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 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 669 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 size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Permit rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building permit rate across the owner's portfolio.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 53.7%
Moderate concern 35.4%
Severe concern 10.9%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
