Initial analysis

The 15-unit, three-story apartment building at 430 44th Avenue in San Francisco's Outer Richmond neighborhood, owned by Goosby Family LLC and built in 1964, has undergone several significant safety improvements over the years. Most notably, the building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2016 (Tier 3) at a cost of $50,000, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements. The building experienced a cluster of fire safety violations in December 2004, all of which were promptly addressed and abated by January 2005, including issues with smoke enclosure doors, fire escape ladder maintenance, and combustible storage. These historical violations were resolved, and a subsequent 2017 fire system inspection noted corrected conditions related to the sprinkler/standpipe systems.

Recent concerns have emerged regarding maintenance issues, with a July 2023 complaint from a tenant about a damaged bathroom ceiling hole and mold, along with an apparently malfunctioning gas stove. The building has also experienced recurring noise complaints, with five reported incidents between 2020 and 2022. While the building's infrastructure has seen periodic maintenance, including reroofing in 2014 and gas line work in 2012, there is one active maintenance issue as of 2023. The property has been generally well-managed in terms of addressing violations, as evidenced by the prompt response to historical fire safety citations. Other recent service requests have primarily involved external matters such as sidewalk conditions and parking enforcement, rather than building-specific issues.

Risk rating

How 430 44Th 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 1040 buildings in this neighborhood, 988 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 27.0%
Moderate concern 47.7%
Severe concern 25.3%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
