Initial analysis

The 7-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 1378-1382 5th Avenue in the Inner Sunset, owned by Gordon Family LLC, has undergone significant improvements and maintenance since its 1912 construction. Most notably, the building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2014 (Tier 3) and successfully relocated existing sprinklers and added new safety features in 2015 to enhance fire safety systems. Between 2020 and 2023, several individual unit renovations were completed, including kitchen and bathroom remodels in Apartments 3, 4, and 1, with associated electrical upgrades and new fixtures. A major fire alarm system upgrade was implemented in 2022 to comply with current safety requirements, including the installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas.

The building's maintenance record shows regular updates to essential systems, including the replacement of a furnace in 2015 and various electrical system improvements. While there was one reported complaint about mold in 2016, and routine inspections have been conducted periodically since 1996, there have been no recent housing violations or complaints that suggest ongoing maintenance concerns. The property has experienced typical urban issues such as parking violations and street cleaning needs, as evidenced by 311 calls, but these are primarily external to the building itself. Recent building activity has focused on unit upgrades and system improvements rather than structural changes, suggesting ongoing investment in maintaining and modernizing the property while adhering to regulatory requirements.

Risk rating

How 1378-1382 5Th Ave'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 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 1299 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.

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 38.3%
Moderate concern 18.7%
Severe concern 42.9%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
