Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 316 Moraga Street in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood has undergone several significant improvements and faced some notable compliance issues over the past decade. Most recently, in 2024, the property is undergoing voluntary lateral strengthening work (though initially submitted without proper calculations) and received plumbing upgrades including new drains in the garage area. In 2023, two units (2 and 3) received window replacements meeting modern efficiency standards. The building experienced substantial maintenance work in 2021, including a reroofing project and major repairs to address stucco damage and dry rot issues on the front facade, totaling approximately $35,000 in improvements.

The property's maintenance history shows attention to basic systems, with electrical upgrades including a new 200-amp service entrance and individual meter installations completed in 2008, and a furnace replacement in 2022. Compliance issues have occurred, most notably regarding an unpermitted deck construction in 2012 that led to a violation notice, though this was subsequently resolved. The building's infrastructure appears to be regularly maintained, with multiple permit records showing ongoing improvements and compliance with building codes. While there have been several complaints regarding building modifications over the years, these issues have generally been addressed through proper channels. Recent activity, including multiple 311 calls in 2023-2024, has primarily concerned parking-related matters outside the building rather than structural or maintenance issues.

Risk rating

How 316 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
70th percentile

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 448 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.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.

Neighborhood location

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

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 81.5%
Moderate concern 14.9%
Severe concern 3.5%
