Initial analysis

The 3-unit multi-family residential building at 719-723 Baker Street, owned by Queen Esther Neal Tr Fbo Ge, is a 3-story structure built in 1900 in the Park North neighborhood. The property has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, with the most substantial work occurring in 2022-2023. This includes voluntary replacement of the ground floor post and beam system ($7,000), extensive exterior renovations comprising 500 sq ft of siding replacement, concrete walkway repairs, and interior maintenance ($35,000), along with plumbing updates including water heater replacements in all units ($7,000). Between 2018-2019, the building received major electrical system upgrades, including replacement of main breaker boxes for all units and the common area, installation of new panels, and dedicated lines ($18,360). These improvements followed a series of concerning complaints between 2016-2022, particularly regarding structural issues with sagging porches that led to complaints and inspections in April 2022 about unpermitted and unsafe structural work. The building experienced multiple violations in late 2016 related to fire safety, security, and smoke detection systems, though these were all abated by February 2017. Historical issues included inadequate heat in 2012, mold problems in 2016, and various routine inspections over the years showing ongoing maintenance needs.

More recent complaints in 2022 raised concerns about kitchen ventilation and windows, while all major building systems have been brought up to date through recent renovations. The property has maintained active engagement with city requirements, as evidenced by the systematic addressing of violations and completion of multiple permits. The building's documented history shows a pattern of both deferred maintenance issues and subsequent improvements, particularly focusing on bringing systems up to current codes and standards. While there were significant safety concerns during the 2016-2017 period, these appear to have been resolved through proper remediation and permit work, with no active violations on record since 2017. The most recent major works have focused on structural support, electrical systems, and building envelope maintenance, demonstrating ongoing investment in the property's upkeep and modernization.

Risk rating

How 719-723 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
57th percentile

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 343 are predicted to be safer.
