Initial analysis

2901 Cabrillo Street is a 6-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1957 and currently owned by the Garbarino Family Ltd Partnership. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, most recently in October 2024, with the installation of retrofit aluminum windows in multiple units, including Units 1, 2, 4, and 5, at a cost of approximately $30,868. In 2015, the building completed a mandatory seismic soft-story retrofit under San Francisco Ordinance 66-13, bringing the structure into compliance with current safety standards.

The building has a documented history of fire safety maintenance issues, particularly between 2002-2006, including violations related to fire escape ladder maintenance, smoke enclosure door closers, and fire proofing materials. All these violations were addressed and abated, with the last routine inspection occurring in 2006. A single fire alarm system malfunction was reported in December 2016 and was promptly corrected. The property has generally maintained good compliance since then, with the most recent building improvements focusing on energy efficiency through window upgrades.

Risk rating

How 2901 Cabrillo 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 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 1575 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.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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

Neighborhood location

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 69.2%
Moderate concern 14.3%
Severe concern 16.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
