Initial analysis

The 6-unit, 2-story apartment building at 1801 Taraval Street in the Parkside neighborhood, constructed in 1957, has undergone several significant structural and safety improvements over its history. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 under SFBC Chapter 4D, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements. In early 2023, the property experienced an incident when a car struck the building, damaging garage doors and structural elements, which was subsequently repaired with permits totaling $4,500. Other recent improvements include a 2006 upgrade to the electrical system with an underground service conversion, and historical records show previous roofing work in 1989 and 2011.

The building's history includes several maintenance and safety inspections throughout the 2000s, with notable violations in 2003 regarding fire safety, smoke detection systems, and stair repairs, though these were all resolved by March 2003. Fire incidents on record include a malfunctioning alarm system and a structural concern, both of which occurred without civilian injuries. Recent activity at the property has primarily involved external maintenance issues, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in 2024 regarding sidewalk conditions and street cleaning needs, though these are not directly related to building safety or habitability. The building's recent compliance with the soft-story retrofit program (designated as Tier 3) and the prompt resolution of the 2023 vehicle collision damage suggest active management of structural and safety concerns.

Risk rating

How 1801 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, 194 are predicted to be safer.
