Initial analysis

The 13-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 1300-1306 La Playa in the Outer Sunset, constructed in 1926, has undergone several significant improvements over recent years, with particular attention to seismic safety through the completion of a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2020, which cost $150,000 and achieved CFC certification. The building has a documented history of maintenance and upgrades, including a 2015 reroofing project costing $53,000, repair work in 2013 to address dry rot in staircase components, and significant plumbing system improvements in 2009-2011 involving the installation of new domestic hot water systems and a steam heating boiler.

The property experienced a cluster of fire safety-related issues in the 2018-2022 period, with multiple fire complaints regarding alarm systems, extinguishers, and combustible materials, though all were subsequently corrected. A notable routine inspection in 2002 revealed various safety concerns that were addressed by July 2003, including issues with the central alarm system, fire escape ladders, weather proofing on siding, and various security requirements. The building's fire safety systems have generally maintained compliance, with only one documented violation related to exit door locking in 2005. The most recent maintenance record shows attention to both fire safety and structural integrity, with the soft-story retrofit demonstrating compliance with San Francisco building codes.

Risk rating

How 1300-1306 La Playa'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 632 buildings in this neighborhood, 600 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 9.0%
Moderate concern 29.4%
Severe concern 61.6%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
