Initial analysis

The 12-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 449 15th Ave in San Francisco's Central Richmond district, owned by Del-camp Investments Inc, was constructed in 1964 and has undergone numerous significant improvements over the past two decades. Most recently, in February 2023, work began to repair leaking windows and stucco on the front of the building, following previous stucco repairs in 2020. The building successfully completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 (Tier 3) and upgraded its fire alarm system in 2022 to comply with current safety standards, including the installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas to meet 2021 requirements.

The property has undergone multiple unit renovations, including comprehensive updates to Units 102, 103, and 302, featuring kitchen and bathroom improvements with associated plumbing and electrical work. Historical records show some fire safety concerns in 2002, including issues with fire escape ladders and egress obstructions, but these were resolved by October 2002. The building experienced recurring issues with water and stucco maintenance, as evidenced by multiple repair permits and a recent fire escape complaint in mid-2023 that was corrected by September 2023. Regular routine inspections have been conducted, with the most recent occurring in 2010, and while there have been several 311 calls regarding parking and posting violations in the surrounding area since 2021, these are external to the building itself.

Risk rating

How 449 15Th 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 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 2138 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

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.

Building permits (past 7 years)

Number of permits pulled at this address — construction or renovation activity over 7 years.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 25.7%
Moderate concern 64.1%
Severe concern 10.2%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
