Initial analysis

The property at 503-505 Broderick Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1892 in the Park North neighborhood, currently owned by Sadeghi Revocable Trust. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the years, with the most notable recent work being an electrical upgrade approved in December 2024, including the installation of fire warning systems and a new outdoor 200A meter/main with 12 breaker spaces. There is a documented history of stair repairs, with work performed in 2004 and 2003 to address external wood stair maintenance and structural support issues.

The building's maintenance history shows consistent attention to infrastructure, including multiple kitchen remodels in 1990 and 1997, window replacements, and various stair repairs from 1984 through 2004. The property has experienced some challenges in the immediate vicinity, as evidenced by numerous 311 calls between 2019 and 2022, primarily related to parking violations and street cleaning issues, including reports of human/animal waste and sidewalk encampments. Of particular note is a tenant buyout that occurred in November 2022 at 505 Broderick Street, involving one tenant and a payment of $35,000. The building's age and history suggest ongoing maintenance has been regularly performed, though the frequency of external issues reported through 311 calls indicates some challenges with the surrounding area.

Risk rating

How 503-505 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

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 56 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

Property class: multi-family flat

2–4 unit flats (class F) are a common SF building type with their own maintenance and complaint patterns.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 82.7%
Moderate concern 14.6%
Severe concern 2.6%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
