Initial analysis

756 Arguello Boulevard is a 3-story, 18-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1971, currently owned by Connolly Holdings LLC. The property has undergone several significant safety upgrades over the years, most notably including a comprehensive electrical system modernization in October 2023 with sub-panel replacements in all 18 units, an upgraded fire alarm system in 2020 to comply with current safety codes ($37,000), completion of a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2014 ($15,000), and reroofing work in the same year ($17,250). The building's maintenance history shows attention to various building systems and infrastructure, including fire safety equipment, with three documented fire safety-related complaints since 2008 that were all resolved, including an alarm system issue in 2022 and extinguisher maintenance in 2019.

The property has gone through regular routine safety inspections by Housing Inspection Services in 1997, 2001, 2003, and 2016, with all issues being addressed and marked as not active. A notable cluster of violations was documented in August 2009 concerning fire safety and interior surfaces, including egress obstructions and damaged ceilings, but these were promptly abated by September 2009. The building has experienced several service calls and alarm activations over the years, primarily related to system malfunctions and medical assistance, with no reported civilian injuries. Recent tenant activity includes a buyout transaction in May 2023 involving two tenants for $22,100. The property has a recorded history of waste management issues in 2024, with multiple reports of garbage and debris requiring intervention by city services, though these are primarily external to the building itself.

Risk rating

How 756 Arguello 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.

Neighborhood percentile
8th percentile

Out of 519 buildings in this neighborhood, 477 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.

Number of units

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

Building size

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

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 40.8%
Moderate concern 36.9%
Severe concern 22.3%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
