Initial analysis

The 14-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 1386 30th Avenue in the Central Sunset neighborhood, currently owned by the Iwase Family Trust, has undergone several significant improvements and faced some safety-related issues since its construction in 1971. Most notably, in April 2024, the building is actively undergoing a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade costing over $21,000, which includes the installation of new manual pull stations, smoke detectors, 520Hz low-frequency audibles, and a monitored fire alarm control panel with Starlink communication - an indication of ongoing commitment to safety improvements despite prior fire safety concerns. The building has experienced three fire-related complaints in recent years, including issues with alarm systems in February 2022 and most recently in February 2024, and one incident involving extinguishers in March 2022, though all were marked as "Condition Corrected."

The property has seen substantial investment in maintaining and upgrading its facilities, including a major window replacement project in 2014 costing $48,000 that involved updating 53 windows in the front and side of the building, and 21 windows at the rear, as well as replacing five sliding doors to comply with egress requirements. Historical records show other maintenance work including termite repairs in 1988, reroofing in 1994, and two individual window installations in 1996. The building underwent a routine housing inspection in December 2001, which was completed without any active issues being recorded. While there have been several 311 calls regarding the building and its immediate surroundings between 2019 and 2022, these primarily involved parking issues, graffiti, and general service requests to public works, rather than building-specific problems. The property seems to be actively maintained, with prompt responses to safety concerns and regular updates to essential systems, particularly in the realm of fire safety.

Risk rating

How 1386 30Th 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
1th percentile

Out of 814 buildings in this neighborhood, 806 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 14.7%
Moderate concern 18.1%
Severe concern 67.2%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
