Initial analysis

The 5-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 5011 California Street in the Inner Richmond, owned by Yon Anna Trust, was constructed in 1970 and has undergone several significant improvements over its lifetime. Most notably, the building completed mandatory seismic retrofitting in 2014-2015 under the wood frame seismic retrofit program, achieving Tier 3 soft story compliance with a Certificate of Final Completion issued. The building has maintained its infrastructure with two separate roofing projects (1991 and 2003) and an upgrade to unit heating systems in 2012 when four wall heaters were replaced.

The building has undergone regular housing safety inspections, with the most recent occurring in 2017 revealing several safety-related requirements that were subsequently addressed and abated within two weeks, including the installation of carbon monoxide detectors, seismic bracing for hot water heaters, and other routine safety measures. Earlier inspections in 2009 and 2003 had identified various maintenance issues including garage door accessibility and electrical concerns, all of which were resolved promptly. While there have been multiple 311 calls regarding the surrounding area, particularly related to Muni services and street cleaning matters, these external issues have no direct impact on building conditions. The property has demonstrated consistent compliance with building safety requirements, though some historical violations related to fire safety and fire extinguisher maintenance were noted in 2003, along with issues related to combustible storage, all of which were addressed and resolved.

Risk rating

How 5011 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

Out of 1723 buildings in this neighborhood, 948 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.

Neighborhood location

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 68.2%
Moderate concern 19.2%
Severe concern 12.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
