Initial analysis

The 2-story, 4-unit multi-family residential building at 730 Great Highway in San Francisco's Outer Richmond neighborhood was completed in 2008 by Great Highway Hldgs Llc, with its construction history showing significant focus on fire safety improvements. During the building's construction period, multiple permits were issued and revised between 2005-2008 primarily related to fire escape installations, including the installation of through bolts and the replacement of an inclined fire escape with an accordion-type ladder, with three permits specifically addressing these revisions in early 2008 alone, suggesting a meticulous approach to fire safety compliance. During this same period, there were two building complaints filed in June 2007 regarding the construction being higher than approved plans, with reports indicating the building was constructed 3 or more feet taller than specified in the permits; however, these complaints were marked as not active within a day of filing.

The building's permit history also shows some structural revisions in 2007, though these permits were ultimately cancelled. While the initial fire escape modifications began in 2005, the project saw several revisions and amendments over its construction period, including adjustments related to sprinkler head placements at fire escape openings. The sequential nature of the permits, with multiple revisions and some cancellations, indicates a potentially complex construction process, though ultimately all major fire safety improvements appear to have been completed, as evidenced by the final completion status of the fire escape-related permits.

Risk rating

How 730 Great Hwy'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
23th percentile

Out of 1040 buildings in this neighborhood, 801 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.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

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.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 66.7%
Moderate concern 12.6%
Severe concern 20.8%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
