Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 405-407 Broderick Street in Park North, owned by Wick Evin, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1904. The property has undergone significant improvements and maintenance over the past few years, with the most substantial work focused on structural and seismic improvements in 2021, including the installation of plywood shear walls, anchor bolts, and foundation work costing over $105,000. Recent updates include the installation of a level 2 EV charger in July 2023 and gas fireplace inserts in mid-2023, demonstrating ongoing modernization efforts. The building had comprehensive kitchen and bathroom remodels completed in 2020, with individual unit improvements preserving existing layouts while updating fixtures and finishes.

The property's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, including a reroofing project in 2003 and various plumbing and electrical upgrades. The building has experienced some recent environmental issues, with multiple 311 calls in 2024 primarily related to parking enforcement and occasional graffiti, though these are mostly external to the building itself. A notable historical event was a smoke scare incident recorded in 2005, though it resulted in no injuries and was promptly addressed. A significant renovation proposal from 2019, aiming to add a ground-floor unit and make extensive building improvements, was withdrawn, but this suggests previous consideration of expanding the property's capacity. The building's systems have been regularly updated, including a gas water heater replacement in 2008 and various plumbing fixture upgrades, indicating proactive maintenance of essential systems.

Risk rating

How 405-407 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
96th percentile

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 32 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.

Neighborhood location

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

Property class: single-family home

Single-family homes (class A) have distinct violation and complaint patterns from multi-family buildings.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 90.8%
Moderate concern 7.5%
Severe concern 1.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
