Initial analysis

The two-story, 13-unit multi-family residential building at 1620 Taraval St in the Parkside neighborhood, owned by Weston Real Properties Lp, was constructed in 1975 and has a single significant historical permit on record from 1988 for shoring and underpinning work, which was completed. A notable incident occurred in June 2014 when a complaint was filed regarding unauthorized construction work in second floor Unit 4, involving demolition of ceiling walls in the living room, though this complaint is currently not active in the system.

The property has experienced several maintenance and infrastructure issues in recent months, with the most significant being multiple sewer-related incidents in August 2024, including two sewage back-up discharges (one from a side sewer vent) and one sewer odor complaint. There has been recurring graffiti in the area surrounding the building, with multiple reports between October and December 2024, primarily affecting poles and sidewalks near the property. Additional incidents include a defaced parking sign in May 2024, general cleaning requests in March 2024, and one bsm complaint in December 2024, though the latter was closed due to insufficient information. While these issues indicate some ongoing maintenance challenges in the immediate vicinity, most reported incidents have been resolved or closed in a timely manner.

Risk rating

How 1620 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

Out of 255 buildings in this neighborhood, 247 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 29.8%
Moderate concern 35.9%
Severe concern 34.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
