Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 743-745 Ashbury Street, owned by the Beckerman Family Trust, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1900 in the Haight Ashbury neighborhood. The property has a documented history of fire safety concerns, with multiple violations recorded between 2017-2023, including problems with fire doors, sprinkler systems, emergency lighting, and other fire safety equipment that were subsequently abated. The building experienced four false fire alarm activations at 745 Ashbury Street, though no fires or injuries were reported. Two significant plumbing improvements were completed, including a shower pan and faucet replacement in 2014 and a gas water heater replacement in 2008, demonstrating some maintenance activity on record.

Recent external issues primarily involve parking violations, with multiple incidents of illegal parking recorded in 2024, along with instances of graffiti on nearby poles and an illegal posting that was resolved. A notable parking enforcement action occurred in July 2024 regarding a blocked driveway situation, which was promptly addressed by authorities. The most recent building-related incident was a fire alarm system complaint in August 2023, which was corrected within nine days. The property has also undergone some infrastructure-related work, as evidenced by a street space and sidewalk permit issued in 2010.

Risk rating

How 743-745 Ashbury 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
81th percentile

Out of 581 buildings in this neighborhood, 110 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.

Neighborhood location

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

Building age

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

DBI complaint rate, owner's portfolio

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 76.2%
Moderate concern 12.8%
Severe concern 11.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
