Initial analysis

The 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 1144 Taraval St in Parkside, owned by Tran-duong Living Trust, has been maintained through various necessary updates since its construction in 1974. Significant maintenance work includes two complete reroofing projects (1992 and 2014), a main water line replacement in 2013, and multiple street space permits. A notable cluster of building violations was documented in October 2001, including issues with smoke detectors, security door closures, and backyard stairs, though all these violations were promptly abated by November 29, 2001. The building underwent routine safety inspections in 2001 and 2011, both of which were resolved without indicating any persistent issues.

Recent service calls in late 2024 and early 2025 primarily relate to external maintenance matters, including multiple reports of garbage and debris, graffiti, and a sewer odor, all of which have been resolved according to city records. A single fire safety complaint regarding blocked exits was filed and closed in March 2015 with no merit found. While the building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep of major systems and prompt response to violations, the surrounding area has experienced occasional issues with street cleanliness and graffiti, as evidenced by multiple recent 311 calls. The only recorded tenant buyout related to this address was for a different property (2412 22nd Avenue) in 2017, suggesting either that unit was misreported or no buyouts have occurred at this address.

Risk rating

How 1144 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.

Neighborhood percentile
58th percentile

Out of 255 buildings in this neighborhood, 107 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.

Neighborhood location

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 54.3%
Moderate concern 18.0%
Severe concern 27.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
