AI summary

The 5-unit residential building at 617-619 Arguello Blvd in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood is a 2-story, multi-family structure built in 1906, currently held in the Klein Family Trust. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past few decades, with the most recent major work being a kitchen remodel in Unit 3 in 2020 (valued at $25,000) and substantial renovations in Unit 5 in 2018, which included kitchen and bathroom upgrades, electrical rewiring, and plumbing work (totaling $35,000). The building completed mandatory soft-story seismic retrofitting in 2015 and achieved compliance certification, demonstrating improved structural safety. Other notable improvements include the installation of 19 replacement windows in 2000, reroofing projects in 2002 and 1989, and a sewer repair in 2009.

The building has experienced two fire-related incidents since 2014, both involving malfunctioning alarm and smoke detection systems, though no injuries were reported in either case. There were also two fire safety violations in 2014 related to blocked exits and alarm systems, both of which were promptly corrected. The property has undergone regular routine safety inspections by Housing Inspection Services in 1996, 2001, and 2016, with no active violations on record. Recent external factors affecting the building's vicinity, as documented in 311 calls, primarily involve sidewalk parking issues and periodic street maintenance concerns, including open pavement defect reports from June 2024. While there have been multiple parking-related complaints in the area throughout 2024, these primarily relate to street conditions rather than the building itself and have generally been addressed by enforcement officials.

Risk rating

How 617-619 Arguello Blvd'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, 1258 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.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 69.2%
Moderate concern 15.7%
Severe concern 15.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
