Initial analysis

2450 Market Street is a three-story, 18-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1960 and currently owned by the Francis J Paratore Estate. The property underwent an important structural improvement in 2016 with the completion of a mandatory soft-story retrofit (Tier 2), which was valued at $196,000. Recent improvements include a comprehensive fire safety upgrade in 2024, involving the installation of new fire alarm sounders, smoke detectors, notification devices, and an upgraded fire alarm panel with an associated cost of $36,958. Notable maintenance issues have emerged in recent years, including a 2023 sewer lateral replacement project and ongoing concerns about the rear deck railings, with permits filed in 2024 for work on eight rear deck landings and balconies.

The building has a documented history of fire safety concerns, with multiple fire complaints regarding alarm systems between 2022 and 2024, including an open violation as of November 2024 related to alarm system maintenance. There have been previous maintenance challenges, as evidenced by a series of building violations in 2017 that were eventually abated, including issues with smoke alarms, damaged walls, and access to common areas. Historical complaints from 2017 documented problems with the carport area, including reports of excessive storage and cleanliness issues. Recent 311 calls from late 2024 indicate ongoing concerns about debris and garbage management in the vicinity of the property. The building's documented history includes periodic fire alarm activations and occasional maintenance issues, but recent investment in fire safety improvements and structural retrofit work suggests attention to building code compliance and resident safety.

Risk rating

How 2450 Market 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 348 buildings in this neighborhood, 331 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.

Building size

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

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.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 13.8%
Moderate concern 63.4%
Severe concern 22.8%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
