Initial analysis

The 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 2470 15th Street in Corona Heights, owned by Daniel N. Robichaud-Carew, was constructed in 1968 and has experienced several notable issues over the past few decades. Most recently, in October 2023, a section of failing stucco behind the building was removed and replaced, following multiple plumbing and sewer issues throughout 2022-2023, including flooding incidents and sewage backups both on the street and property. In 2021, a new water heater was installed, and previously, in 2017, significant water damage required kitchen and dining room drywall repairs in Unit 2, along with the removal and resetting of kitchen appliances.

The building has a concerning history of fire safety violations, with 10 major infractions cited in 2002 related to fire escapes, extinguisher maintenance, smoke detectors, and security requirements, all of which were abated by April 2002. There have been recurring maintenance and habitability issues, including reports of garbage accumulation in the alleyway (2009), a broken feed line (2004), and multiple complaints about water-related problems. The property has undergone various repairs and updates over the years, including the installation of eight vinyl windows in 1997 (permit expired), and has experienced several fire department responses, though none with civilian injuries or significant incidents. Recent work includes sidewalk work (2019) and a tree pruning request (2023), indicating ongoing property maintenance. A carbon monoxide incident was recorded but is categorized as non-injurious.

Risk rating

How 2470 15Th 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
29th percentile

Out of 348 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.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 63.6%
Moderate concern 14.2%
Severe concern 22.3%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
