Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 115 Carl Street, owned by the Ursula Ayrout Family Trust, was constructed in 1964 and contains 8 units. The property has a history of maintenance and renovation work, with significant improvements made between 2008-2021 including kitchen and bathroom remodels in all units (2008), various exterior repairs including repair of dry rot in stairs and walkways (2013), re-roofing (2014), and most recently, stucco replacement with waterproofing work completed in 2021. Electrical and plumbing systems have been upgraded over the years, including the installation of new electrical circuits (2010) and gas lines (2008).

The building experienced multiple violations in 2004 related to fire safety, including issues with BBQ grilles, fire escape, and roof drainage, along with concerns about dry rot in the garage framing. These violations were all resolved by 2005, and there have been no subsequent fire safety violations. Recent activity at the property (2023-2024) has primarily consisted of street cleaning and graffiti removal outside the building, with these maintenance issues being promptly addressed. While a routine housing inspection complaint from 2010 is still listed as active, there have been no recent building complaints or violations recorded. The property's maintenance history shows regular upkeep and addressing of structural issues, particularly with regard to rot and water-related problems, which have been a recurring theme in the building's maintenance records.

Risk rating

How 115 Carl 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

Out of 526 buildings in this neighborhood, 431 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.

Number of units

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

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.

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 61.5%
Moderate concern 20.6%
Severe concern 17.9%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
