Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 736-738 Baker Street, owned by Rosetta and Klaus Zimmermann, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1908 located in the Park North neighborhood. The property underwent significant renovations in 2009, with approximately $350,000 in construction work that included replacing and repairing rear walls, stairways, and kitchen and bathroom remodeling on all floors. This major improvement project was accompanied by substantial electrical and plumbing upgrades, including the installation of new 200-amp service, complete rewiring of the building, and the addition of four bathrooms and two kitchens. Other structural improvements from that period included the installation of a skylight and foundation reinforcement of the garage.

The building's maintenance history shows proper upkeep following the 2009 renovations, with only routine sidewalk repairs noted in 2004. There are no recorded fire safety issues since 2012, when a complaint was filed and promptly addressed. The property has experienced recurring parking issues in recent years, with multiple complaints about driveway blocking between 2022 and 2024, though these are external neighborhood concerns rather than building-specific problems. There have been occasional reports related to street cleaning and waste removal in the vicinity, as well as two environmental health-related complaints in 2022 and 2021, but these appear to be neighborhood-wide issues rather than specific to the building itself. Overall, the major renovation work completed in 2009 appears to have addressed the building's structural and systems requirements comprehensively, with no significant building-specific issues reported in recent years.

Risk rating

How 736-738 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 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 72 are predicted to be safer.
