AI summary

The 780-782 Ashbury Street property is a three-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Haight Ashbury neighborhood, containing two units and situated in a structure built in 1904. The building has undergone significant improvements over the past decade, with major renovations completed in 2013 including a comprehensive window upgrade from single to double-pane windows (48 total), installation of a new fire sprinkler system, and substantial mechanical upgrades including new furnaces, water heaters, and fireplaces. The property also received electrical system modernization in 2012-2014, including a new 200-amp service with subpanels and extensive rewiring for modern appliances and safety features. A physical inspection in 2015 (CC7915) required additional compliance work which was completed, including plumbing modifications related to backflow prevention.

Recent maintenance and incident records from 2023-2024 show typical urban challenges, including multiple instances of graffiti (recently resolved), sidewalk tree root issues affecting pavement (reported November 2023), and some parking enforcement matters. The property underwent a condo conversion process with DPW Lottery Bypass approval, although specific condo features aren't detailed in the records. While the building has experienced typical urban maintenance issues in recent years, these appear to be promptly addressed through normal city channels. The substantial improvements made between 2012-2014 suggest significant investment in building safety and modernization, including comprehensive plumbing, electrical, and fire safety upgrades.

Risk rating

How 780-782 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
86th percentile

Out of 581 buildings in this neighborhood, 81 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 size

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

Building age

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 68.7%
Moderate concern 19.2%
Severe concern 12.1%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
