Initial analysis

The two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 124 Rivoli Street, owned by Donald E & Jill R Brown Liv, was constructed in 1960 and has undergone several significant improvements over the years. Most recently, in November 2022, Unit #2 received substantial upgrades including a partial kitchen renovation with new counters, sink, and electrical improvements, including moving the Federal Pacific panel from a closet to the hallway and adding multiple new circuits and outlets. Prior to this, the building underwent important maintenance in 2017 when wood dry rot was repaired at both the rear right and front sections, covering approximately 96 square feet, and in 2002 when the building received a new roof. Historical records also show that in 1999, Unit #3 had five replacement windows installed.

The building has a history of fire safety-related violations, with notable incidents in 2003 and 2009. These included issues with combustible storage near heating equipment, fire extinguisher maintenance, fire escape ladder repairs, and gas meter instructional diagram postings. All these violations were subsequently abated, with records showing resolution by October 2009. The property has experienced various neighborhood-related incidents as documented in 311 calls, with the most recent being noise complaints related to a major event venue in August 2024. Other calls have included reports of abandoned vehicles, street cleaning requests, and parking enforcement issues, though these are primarily external to the building's direct maintenance and safety concerns. While the building's maintenance record shows regular upkeep and necessary repairs, the historical fire safety violations suggest that attention to safety systems has been required periodically, though there have been no documented violations in recent years.

Risk rating

How 124 Rivoli 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
48th percentile

Out of 526 buildings in this neighborhood, 274 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.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Neighborhood location

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 63.3%
Moderate concern 20.9%
Severe concern 15.8%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
