Initial analysis

The three-story, four-unit apartment building at 115 Beulah Street, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Richard C. Shadoian, has experienced numerous significant issues in recent years, particularly during 2020. The property is currently facing multiple active building violations from October 2020, with a director hearing scheduled for November 16, 2023, regarding critical safety and maintenance violations including water service issues, window repairs, egress paths, smoke detector installations, fire escape maintenance, door repairs, and bathroom repairs. There are also concerns about unit modifications, with complaints about unauthorized merging of units reported in 2013 and 2020.

The building has a documented history of maintenance challenges and safety concerns, including a lack of hot water issue reported in December 2020 that was allegedly connected to eviction proceedings. Historical records show various repairs and maintenance work, such as window replacements (most recently in 2024), responses to dry rot in stairs (2005), and electrical and plumbing upgrades in 2007 related to condo conversion compliance. The property has undergone several permit-backed improvements over the years, including reroofing (1990), installation of non-bearing partitions (1989), and kitchen modifications (1983). Recent activity shows persistent infrastructure challenges, particularly in plumbing and safety systems, with numerous citations related to basic building systems and safety equipment.

Risk rating

How 115 Beulah 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.
