Initial analysis

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 6827 California Street in the Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by Mikhail & Izra Berdichevsky, is a century-old structure built in 1908. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with notable recent upgrades including the installation of solar panel systems in 2016, comprising two separate installations with a total capacity of 5.3 kW, and the replacement of four non-street-facing windows later that same year. In 2014, exterior improvements included the installation of vinyl siding on non-visible portions of the building. Major interior renovations were completed in 2005, including comprehensive updates to multiple kitchens and bathrooms across different floors, as well as laundry facilities. The building's electrical system received attention during these renovations, with significant electrical work documented in 2005 and the installation of new solar infrastructure in 2016.

Of particular note is a historical complaint from 1994 regarding power surges and fire safety concerns, though this issue was officially abated in 1995. Recent municipal service calls (2019-2024) have primarily related to external issues such as parking enforcement, abandoned vehicles, and street maintenance, with only one relevant building-related incident recorded in 2020 concerning a sewage backup that was promptly resolved. The building appears to be regularly maintained, with permitted improvements suggesting an investment in both energy efficiency and general upkeep. The most recent building improvements, including the solar installations and window replacements, demonstrate ongoing maintenance and modernization efforts, though the absence of significant building-related service calls in recent years is notable.

Risk rating

How 6827 California 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
92th percentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 180 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.

Building size

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

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.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 74.8%
Moderate concern 18.7%
Severe concern 6.5%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
