Initial analysis

The 5-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 4015-4019 Balboa Street in the Outer Richmond, owned by Timothy F. & Jacqueli Walley, was constructed in 1923 and has undergone several significant events over its lifetime. In June 2003, the building underwent a routine housing inspection that revealed multiple safety issues that were subsequently addressed by August 2003, including problems with the fire escape drop ladder, fire extinguishers, central alarm system, and gas utility shutoff tools. Prior to that, in 1987, the building underwent a code compliance update and received stairway ladder installations, while in 2004 it received a reroofing costing $5,500, though this permit has since expired.

In recent years (2023-2024), the property has experienced several minor issues typically associated with urban environments, including reports of graffiti on the building and transit shelter platforms, abandoned vehicles, and incidents of garbage and debris. The building has had multiple fire department responses, though all were classified as false alarms, system malfunctions, or maintenance issues like smoke removal or water leaks, with no civilian injuries reported in any incidents. The most recent building-related interactions with city services have primarily involved the Rent Board, with requests for service regarding fee housing inventory matters being addressed in late 2023 and early 2024. The property appears to be actively managed, with most issues being resolved through appropriate channels, though some graffiti incidents remain open as of 2024.

Risk rating

How 4015-4019 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
36th percentile

Out of 1040 buildings in this neighborhood, 666 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.

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.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 62.7%
Moderate concern 15.4%
Severe concern 21.9%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
