Initial analysis

The six-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 415 3rd Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood, owned by H L Hom Ltd Partnership, has undergone several significant improvements and faced some challenges since its construction in 1963. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory seismic upgrade for its soft-story configuration in 2015, representing a $50,000 investment in structural safety. Recent maintenance includes the replacement of a wall heater in September 2024, though an electrical permit for Ufer installation from 2015 has since expired. The building experienced a cluster of serious safety violations in late 2004, including issues with smoke detectors, emergency exits, dilapidated siding, fire extinguishers, and lead paint hazards - though all these violations were abated by January 2005. Regular safety inspections were conducted in 2001, 2004, and 2015, with the most recent routine safety inspection not showing any active violations.

The property has experienced ongoing concerns with the surrounding area, particularly visible in numerous 311 calls between 2024 and 2025, primarily related to garbage and debris, including multiple reports of human waste or urine. These external challenges appear to be less about the building's condition and more about neighborhood cleanliness issues. A documented gas leak incident occurred at the property, though it resulted in no civilian injuries. The building's most recent soft-story seismic work has been classified as complete with a Certificate of Final Completion issued. While the property has had its share of maintenance and safety issues in the past, recent records suggest regular attention to building systems, with no active interior safety violations on record at present.

Risk rating

How 415 3Rd 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, 1223 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 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.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 70.6%
Moderate concern 19.0%
Severe concern 10.5%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
