Initial analysis

The property at 4343-4345 Balboa Street is a three-story, two-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Outer Richmond neighborhood, constructed in 1924 and currently owned by Eric Neplokh. The building underwent significant renovations between 2007-2008, including comprehensive seismic upgrades, kitchen remodels in both units, electrical system improvements (including new 200-amp panels and extensive lighting installations), and extensive wall and ceiling work. Notably, issues from 2005-2006 regarding plumbing problems, electrical safety concerns, and building code violations were addressed through these renovations, including the replacement of broken sewer lines and conversion of plumbing systems to copper. A fire escape enclosure issue was reported in 2012, though this was resolved within two months, and more recently, the building received approval for a cottage food operation under Planning Code Sections 204.1 and 703.2.

The building's maintenance history shows substantial investment in infrastructure improvements, with multiple permits showing systematic upgrades to plumbing, electrical, and general building systems. Recent activity at the property has primarily involved external matters such as garbage management, which has been handled through municipal services. The most recent permits and inspections indicate that the major rehabilitation work completed in 2007-2008 addressed the building's primary systems and structures, with no significant building violations or safety concerns reported in recent years. The property has been subject to periodic municipal inspections and responses to complaints, but these have generally been routine and not related to major building systems or safety issues.

Risk rating

How 4343-4345 Balboa St'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 1040 buildings in this neighborhood, 229 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.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

NOV rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building NOV rate across everything this owner manages — high rates signal pattern neglect.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 79.3%
Moderate concern 15.6%
Severe concern 5.1%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
