Initial analysis

The 32-unit, 4-story multi-family residential building at 101 Point Lobos Ave in the Outer Richmond, owned by Point Lobos Investors LP, is a 1928 construction that has undergone significant renovations and faced several maintenance challenges over recent years. Between 2012 and 2014, the building underwent extensive improvements, including kitchen and bathroom remodels in multiple units (101, 103, 205, 206, 207, 208, 304, and 408), electrical upgrades, and plumbing improvements totaling over $160,000. Major infrastructure work included a complete electrical service upgrade with 33 meters, a roof replacement, boiler replacement, and sewer pipe work in 2017, alongside the installation of a rooftop antenna in 2012.

The building has faced recurring maintenance and safety issues, particularly in recent years. Notable concerns include multiple active violations from 2017 related to lead paint disturbance, smoke alarm system certification, wall repairs, and fire safety requirements, as well as a 2023 violation regarding sleeping area requirements. There have been several heating system complaints, particularly in 2012-2014, and electrical system upgrades were necessary following various unit renovations. Recent fire safety inspections in 2022-2023 identified issues with sprinkler systems, alarm systems, and sleeping area requirements, though most were promptly corrected. The building's exterior has experienced ongoing challenges with street cleanliness, as evidenced by numerous 311 calls in 2024 regarding garbage, debris, and waste removal, though these are primarily related to street conditions rather than building maintenance.

Risk rating

How 101 Point Lobos 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
1th percentile

Out of 1040 buildings in this neighborhood, 1030 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.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

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 13.4%
Moderate concern 77.9%
Severe concern 8.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
