Initial analysis

The 11-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 435 43rd Avenue in San Francisco's Outer Richmond neighborhood was constructed in 1965. The property has undergone several significant improvements to maintain safety and compliance with modern standards, most notably completing a $90,000 soft-story retrofit in 2017, which brought the building into compliance with SFEBBC Chapter 4D engineering criteria. More recent upgrades include the replacement of three electrical panels in July 2024 and the issuance of several street space permits in 2019 and 2020, though the specific scope of these street space modifications is minimal (cost $1.00 and $0.00 respectively). The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to essential systems, with completed reroofing projects in 1989, 2002, and 2015, and window replacements in 2005.

The property has experienced recurring parking-related issues in the immediate vicinity, with multiple 311 calls between January and June 2024 reporting vehicles blocking driveways, parking on sidewalks, and double parking. The building's fire safety history shows occasional concerns, with reports of blocked exits in 2008 and 2021, though these were determined to have either merit or were promptly corrected, and no subsequent issues have been reported since. Other maintenance concerns have been addressed as they arose, including a damaged tree and pavement defect in early 2024, both of which were resolved through appropriate channels. The building has undergone regular inspections, including a routine housing inspection in March 2003 that was promptly addressed. The property's comprehensive maintenance record suggests active management, with particular attention paid to structural integrity, safety systems, and routine upkeep, though recent years have seen an increase in parking-related challenges in the neighborhood.

Risk rating

How 435 43Rd 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
3th percentile

Out of 1040 buildings in this neighborhood, 1009 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.

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.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 23.2%
Moderate concern 61.9%
Severe concern 14.9%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
