Initial analysis

The three-story duplex at 451-453 Broderick Street, built in 1900 and owned by Jonathan T. Rodriguez, is undergoing recent structural modifications with the most significant work occurring in 2024. Current active permits include the installation of a new PSL beam and post at the top floor ($12,000) and ceiling plaster replacement ($7,000) in the living and dining room areas. The building has undergone substantial renovations since 2005, including a complete electrical rewiring of both units, bathroom additions and modifications, including converting a half-bath to a full-bath on the ground level, and extensive plumbing work including the installation of a new basement bathroom and trench drain. The electrical system received a major upgrade in 2009 with the installation of a new 200-amp service and comprehensive rewiring of both units, including the addition of smoke detectors and various appliance circuits.

The property has maintained regulatory compliance throughout its history, with multiple permits being closed out properly through final inspections. Notable improvements include a fireplace installation (2007), radiant heating system (2009), and garage remodel with game room conversion (2009). The duplex conversion and subsequent modifications were all issued proper permits, demonstrating adherence to building codes and regulations. The only recent incidents recorded were two minor neighborhood issues in 2020 and 2022 (a parking violation and street cleaning issue), neither of which directly affected the building's structural integrity or resident experience.

Risk rating

How 451-453 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
62th percentile

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 303 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.

Property class: multi-family flat

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

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 67.3%
Moderate concern 17.8%
Severe concern 14.9%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
