Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 257-259 11th Avenue in the Inner Richmond, owned by Natalie Sabelnik and Serebren, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1907. The building has undergone several significant maintenance activities over the past two decades, including a $16,500 reroofing project in 2012 and substantial electrical system upgrades in 2009 that included the installation of two 150-amp meters and panels with eight circuits. A notable incident occurred in 2002 when multiple violations were documented regarding lead paint hazards, though these were promptly addressed and abated by August 12, 2002. The building's more recent history shows typical urban infrastructure and maintenance issues, including several 311 calls between 2013 and 2022 related to street cleaning, waste management, and exterior maintenance concerns such as illegal postings and streetlight issues. Noteworthy incidents include a sewage backup in 2015 that was promptly resolved, and a damaged tree issue in 2021 that was addressed by multiple parties including the homeowner and city services. The property has maintained compliance with building codes since the resolution of the 2002 lead paint violations, with no active violations or complaints currently on record.

Risk rating

How 257-259 11Th Ave'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, 896 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 age

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 80.0%
Moderate concern 15.6%
Severe concern 4.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
