Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 2550 Sloat Boulevard, owned by Giti D & Gerald L Knopoff R, was constructed in 1975 and contains 9 units. The property has undergone numerous telecommunications installations and upgrades over the past 13 years, with the most recent work in 2023-2024 involving Dish Wireless and AT&T modifications including antenna installations, equipment relocations, and electrical updates totaling significant investment amounts. A notable safety improvement was completed in 2018 with the building's mandatory soft-story retrofit, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements.

The building has experienced several fire safety-related issues between 2016 and 2024, including multiple fire extinguisher maintenance citations, exit maintenance concerns, and fire escape issues, all of which were subsequently corrected. There were also three fire incidents recorded between 2018 and 2020, though none resulted in civilian injuries. A concerning tenant complaint was filed in March 2014 regarding a chemical smell in Unit 2, though there was no indication of mold or specific source identified. Historical violations from 2001 included issues with a fire escape and combustible storage in the garage, but these were resolved within a month. The most recent building permits and electrical work as of 2024 indicate active maintenance and upgrading of building systems, including a recent 600-amp main electrical service replacement.

Risk rating

How 2550 Sloat Blvd'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

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.

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 27.9%
Moderate concern 45.4%
Severe concern 26.6%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
