Initial analysis

The 8-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 2598 43rd Avenue, owned by the Taj-eldin Family Trust, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over recent years. Most recently, in July 2023, there were serious water damage issues reported in multiple units, particularly in Apartment #8, requiring dry rot repairs and stucco work costing $21,000. The building underwent mandatory soft-story seismic retrofitting in 2018, with a $70,000 moment frame installation and exterior stair replacement. Safety concerns have been persistent, with multiple stair-related issues documented in 2018, including unstable railings and foundation concerns. A 2020 complaint regarding the garbage room described it as a toxic health hazard, and there have been recurring sanitation issues evidenced by multiple 311 calls regarding garbage and debris between 2023-2024.

The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of response to code violations, with multiple repairs and compliance work completed in 2018-2023. This includes addressing various fire safety requirements such as sprinkler systems and fire extinguishers, though there was a significant cluster of violations in 2001 related to fire safety, gas meter requirements, and weatherproofing issues, all of which were abated by September 2001. The property has experienced various utility-related issues, as evidenced by service calls between 2023-2024, including instances of no heat (2018 and 2022), plumbing problems, and sewer-related concerns. The building's soft-story retrofit has been completed and received its Certificate of Final Completion, indicating compliance with seismic safety requirements. While many historical violations have been resolved, the frequency of recent maintenance calls and complaints suggests ongoing challenges with building upkeep and resident comfort.

Risk rating

How 2598 43Rd Ave'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
8th percentile

Out of 207 buildings in this neighborhood, 190 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.

NOV rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building NOV rate across everything this owner manages — high rates signal pattern neglect.

Neighborhood location

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 10.0%
Moderate concern 20.9%
Severe concern 69.1%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
