Initial analysis

The 1445-1447 Taraval Street property, located in San Francisco's Parkside neighborhood, is a two-story multi-family residential building with three units and ground-floor retail space, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Felix Cedric Chung. The building has undergone significant recent activity, particularly in late 2024, when multiple permits were processed and completed, including awning replacements for "Goldgen Boy Pizza" (December 2024), compliance work following a Notice of Violation (November 2024), and the installation of various electrical and plumbing fixtures such as four sinks and upgraded electrical service. Of particular note, in November 2024, multiple complaints were filed regarding unpermitted work, including exterior soffit and awning installations, and unauthorized electrical work, though these violations were subsequently abated by December 2024. The property also received a complete reroofing in September 2023, costing approximately $25,800.

The building's maintenance and upgrade history shows active management, including significant infrastructure improvements such as a 200-amp electrical service upgrade (2005), equipment installation in 2024 (hood, makeup air, and exhaust fan), and plumbing system updates. While there have been multiple 311 calls in recent months (December 2024 - January 2025) regarding street cleaning and debris issues, these were primarily exterior to the building and have all been resolved. A fire complaint was filed in late 2020 but was closed with conditions corrected in February 2023. The property's recent permit activity suggests ongoing commercial operations in the ground-floor retail space, with substantial investment in both building maintenance and commercial improvements totaling over $52,000 in 2024 alone.

Risk rating

How 1445-1447 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
22th percentile

Out of 255 buildings in this neighborhood, 199 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.

Neighborhood location

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

Property class: apartment building

Apartment building — this property classification influences expected violation rates.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 78.2%
Moderate concern 15.8%
Severe concern 6.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
