Initial analysis

The six-unit, two-story apartment building at 914 Broderick Street, owned by the Fong Family Trust, has undergone several significant improvements and addressed multiple maintenance issues since its construction in 1900. Most notably, the building completed its mandatory seismic retrofit program in compliance with Tier 3 soft-story requirements, with work including structural revisions and ground floor reinforcement, with costs totaling $48,000. Recent major improvements include a $28,000 reroofing project completed in 2022 and a structural revision completed that same year to relocate plywood shearwalls. The building's maintenance history reveals several important safety and structural improvements, including the replacement of a collapsed back porch in 1989, restoration work in 1989-1990, and multiple routine safety inspections over the years.

The property has experienced various maintenance challenges, particularly in the early 2000s, with a notable cluster of violations recorded in 2003-2004 related to fire safety, window repairs, fire extinguisher requirements, and gas meter issues, all of which were eventually abated. A water damage incident was reported in 1998, and there were concerns about window security and emergency egress in 1998-1999. More recent routine inspections have shown improved compliance, and the building's most significant recent work focused on structural safety and roofing improvements. The most recent 311 calls from 2020-2021 have been primarily for non-building-related issues such as street cleaning and parking concerns, with no immediate building safety or maintenance issues reported through this channel.

Risk rating

How 914 Broderick 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
78th percentile

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 175 are predicted to be safer.
