Initial analysis

The 372 Baker Street property is a three-story, 24-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1908, currently owned by the Mae V Gage 2015 Family Trust. The building has undergone several significant improvements and faced multiple challenges over the past years. Most notably, in December 2018, a structure fire caused major damage to one unit (302) and resulted in smoke and water damage to others, leading to a substantial $500,000 repair project in 2022 that included new heat pumps, finishes, plumbing work, appliances, cabinets, and window replacements. The building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2020, addressing seismic safety concerns.

Recent maintenance activities include reroofing work valued at $60,000 in early 2023 and insulation improvements. The property has a history of maintenance challenges, particularly evident in 2017 when multiple complaints were filed regarding unit conditions, including non-working appliances, leaks, mold, and other issues. More recent concerns include a fire violation issued in November 2023 regarding sleeping area requirements that remains open, and multiple fire safety inspections in 2024 noting issues such as blocked exits and sleeping area requirements. The building's systems have seen improvements over the years, including solar thermal system installation in 2011 and plumbing updates in 2022 involving bathtub fixture replacements. While the property has experienced periodic issues with building systems and resident amenities, significant recent investments suggest ongoing maintenance efforts are being prioritized.

Risk rating

How 372 Baker 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
4th percentile

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 765 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 size

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

Number of units

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

NOV rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building NOV rate across everything this owner manages — high rates signal pattern neglect.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 12.9%
Moderate concern 72.0%
Severe concern 15.1%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
