Initial analysis

The 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building located at 1301-1307 31st Avenue in the Central Sunset was built in 1931 and is currently owned by the Horn Family Trust. The property has undergone several significant infrastructure improvements over the years, including the installation of a new 200-amp electrical service with five meters and circuit breaker panels in 2005, and street space and sidewalk repairs in 2006. A notable series of building violations was documented in November 2001, which included issues with fire escape stairs, structural integrity concerns, lighting deficiencies, and security requirements; however, all these violations were promptly addressed and abated by December 2001.

More recent activities around the property have primarily involved external maintenance and enforcement matters. Between October 2023 and February 2024, there have been multiple reports of abandoned vehicles in the area, sidewalk parking violations, and issues with garbage and debris on the street. The most recent maintenance concern is an open pavement defect case reported in June 2024. The building's recent history shows no significant safety violations or complaints regarding the building's internal systems, and there have been no recent building permits filed that indicate major works or repairs. The property has had four medical assistance calls recorded by fire services, but none involved civilian injuries.

Risk rating

How 1301-1307 31St 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

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 (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

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 51.6%
Moderate concern 20.3%
Severe concern 28.1%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
