Initial analysis

The three-story duplex at 6725 California Street in the Central Richmond neighborhood, currently owned by the Brakebill Trust, is a 1909 multi-family residential building consisting of two units. The property has undergone several significant renovations and improvements over its history, with the most recent substantial work completed in 2019, which included comprehensive remodeling of the lower unit's kitchen and full bath, along with bathroom renovations in the upper unit and installation of new skylights. This 2019 project, valued at $65,000, was accompanied by necessary electrical and plumbing work. Earlier major renovations include a substantial 2003 project costing $325,000 that involved raising the building, adding a garage below, and making several structural modifications, as well as a seismic retrofit in 1996 that included installing anchor bolts and holdowns for improved safety.

The building's maintenance history shows regular updates and improvements, including bathroom and kitchen remodels in multiple units over the years, with significant electrical upgrades documented in 2005 involving extensive new installations. A notable complaint was filed in 2014 regarding possible unpermitted work and improper use of street space, though this complaint is currently listed as not active. Recent activity around the property has primarily involved parking enforcement, with several citations issued for illegal parking between 2021 and 2023. The property has maintained compliance with building codes and regulations, with no recorded fire incidents resulting in injuries or significant damage.

Risk rating

How 6725 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
46th percentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 1215 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 age

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

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 71.3%
Moderate concern 23.9%
Severe concern 4.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
