Initial analysis

1450 La Playa is a 2-story, 6-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Outer Sunset neighborhood, owned by Leonard Wong & Marie Lee 20 Trust. Built in 1970, the property underwent significant seismic safety improvements in 2015-2018, including a mandatory soft-story retrofit completed at a cost of $80,000, with subsequent revisions to relocate the moment frame to the front facade. In 2017, the building received aesthetic and protective upgrades with the installation of 500 square feet of fiber cement siding on the front façade.

The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, including window replacements and reroofing work completed in 1998, while an earlier compliance requirement from 1987 is noted as expired. Routine housing inspections have been conducted in 1997, 2001, and most recently in 2018, with no active violations on record. More recent concerns have primarily centered around exterior maintenance issues, with multiple 311 calls in late 2024 and early 2025 regarding garbage, debris, and street cleaning matters. There was one notable fire safety incident involving a carbon monoxide detector activation with no actual CO detected, though there have been no reported injuries. The property's soft-story retrofit was classified as "Tier 4" and completed with a certificate of final completion, indicating compliance with seismic safety requirements.

Risk rating

How 1450 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
9th percentile

Out of 632 buildings in this neighborhood, 575 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.

Neighborhood location

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

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.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 28.1%
Moderate concern 23.7%
Severe concern 48.2%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
