Initial analysis

The 4-unit multi-family residential building at 1440 Taraval Street in the Parkside neighborhood, owned by Taraval 1440 LLC, is a 2-story apartment structure built in 1937. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades, most notably a comprehensive electrical upgrade in 2019 that included installing new sub-panels and dedicated circuits in all four apartments, demonstrating an investment in modernizing the property’s infrastructure. Other major maintenance work includes the replacement of the hydronic boiler and relocation of the water heater in 2009, a roofing project completed in 2001, and an underground conversion completed in 2005.

The building's record shows some historical safety concerns in August 2001, when multiple fire safety violations were documented, including issues with combustible storage in the garage area and fire extinguisher maintenance; however, these violations were promptly abated within approximately six weeks. More recently, there has been an increase in maintenance issues on the street level, with multiple reports of garbage and debris (including seven separate incidents between July 2024 and January 2025), though most have been resolved. There are also several parking enforcement calls in 2024-2025, with one illegal parking complaint still open as of November 2024. The most recent infrastructure work suggests ongoing maintenance attention, though the high number of street-level cleanliness issues indicates challenges with exterior property maintenance. A graffiti incident reported in January 2025 is still open as of this report.

Risk rating

How 1440 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
34th percentile

Out of 255 buildings in this neighborhood, 168 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.

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 53.2%
Moderate concern 21.1%
Severe concern 25.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
