Initial analysis

The property at 616 Moraga Street is a 6-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1958, currently owned by Johnson John Robert & Marsh. The building underwent significant renovations between 2012-2015, with all six units receiving comprehensive kitchen and bathroom remodels, including cabinet replacements, new fixtures, and plumbing work. This extensive renovation work, totaling over $172,000, also included electrical upgrades such as panel relocations and code compliance improvements. The building faced some challenges in 2012, with complaints regarding fire resistive membrane violations and a ceiling issue in unit #4, though these were abated by September 2012. Another complaint from August 2012 raised concerns about potentially hazardous materials during repair work, but this was also resolved by September 2012. A reroofing project was completed in 2008 for $16,800, and termite and dry rot repairs were performed in 2015 at a cost of $8,676.

The property had some maintenance issues that have been addressed over the years, including an unsafe fence complaint in 2011 (resolved in 2012) and the replacement of three furnaces in 2013. There are no active building violations on record, and two fire alarm system complaints from 2016 and 2021 were either corrected or found to have no merit. Recent history shows typical urban environment incidents such as parking violations (2022) and street cleaning issues, but these are generally municipal matters rather than property-specific concerns. The building appears to be regularly maintained, with all significant renovations and repairs properly documented through building permits.

Risk rating

How 616 Moraga St'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, 1314 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 46.8%
Moderate concern 22.7%
Severe concern 30.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
