Initial analysis

The 816-824 Taraval Street property, located in San Francisco's Inner Parkside neighborhood, is a three-story mixed-use building constructed in 1921 containing 15 residential units and ground-floor commercial spaces. The building underwent significant renovations and improvements over the past several years, including mandatory seismic retrofitting completed in 2018, installation of two ADUs in 2020, and extensive fire safety upgrades in 2021 including a new fire alarm system and sprinkler coverage. Most recently, in 2023, the property underwent revisions to ADA improvements, including bathroom upgrades and drinking fountain installations, and completed sprinkler system modifications. The building's seismic retrofit work was formally completed and certified as a Tier 4 soft-story property, achieving CFC status.

The property's maintenance and safety record shows active management response, with several fire safety complaints in recent years being promptly addressed, including sprinkler system modifications in 2023. There have been no active building violations since 2023, and all previous violations related to the soft-story program and fire alarm system were abated. The building's recent improvements include central heating system installations, bathroom and kitchen renovations for multiple units, and comprehensive electrical upgrades. External concerns near the property in recent years have primarily involved sidewalk maintenance, parking enforcement, and street cleaning issues, which are typical for urban properties and not directly related to building conditions or maintenance. The building's owners, Gilbert L & Lillian B Solomon, have maintained active permit applications and completed numerous improvements to modernize and secure the property while complying with city safety requirements.

Risk rating

How 816-824 Taraval 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.

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.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Property class

The assessor's property-class code, which correlates with building type and the violation rates the model expects. This code is grouped with other less-common classes.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 9.1%
Moderate concern 86.0%
Severe concern 4.9%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
