AI summary

The two-unit apartment building at 709 Broderick St in Park North, built in 1900 and currently owned by the Brandstetter-yung Family Trust, has undergone several significant renovations and improvements over the years. Most recently, in October 2015, comprehensive upgrades were completed to two bathrooms, including remodeling work, new fixtures, and electrical rewiring, with plumbing work also conducted for shower installations and laundry facilities. The building's history shows substantial structural and maintenance work in 1999, including the conversion from a three-unit to a two-unit building, repairs to address dryrot issues, steel frame replacements, and new garage installations, along with roofing work. Earlier improvements were made to the foundation and mudside in 1983, and several permits were completed in the 1980s and 1990s, all of which have been properly closed.

The most pressing current issue affecting the property involves ongoing parking enforcement matters, with multiple documented incidents of driveway blocking between 2023 and 2024. In total, there have been at least ten reported cases of driveway blocking, with several resulting in citations being issued. While these parking violations are not directly related to the building's condition or safety, they represent a recurring inconvenience for residents. The building has only one recorded routine housing inspection in 2001, which was promptly resolved, and there are no active building complaints or violations on record as of the latest data. The property appears to have been well-maintained over the years, with regular updates and repairs documented through the permit system.

Risk rating

How 709 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
61th percentile

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 311 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 age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

DBI complaint rate, owner's portfolio

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 78.3%
Moderate concern 15.5%
Severe concern 6.3%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
