Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 115-117 States Street in Corona Heights is a 2-story flats and duplex structure built in 1923, currently owned by William Bates Jr. & Sue. The building's maintenance history shows several significant repairs and improvements, including a complete electrical upgrade to 150-amp service in 2012, back exterior stairs repairs in 2009, noticeable facade bulge removal work in 1997, and reroofing completed in 2004 at a cost of $6,750. Two noteworthy safety-related incidents were documented in the 1990s: a 1997 inspection complaint (resolved within two months) and a 1996 fire hazard concern involving windows, which was promptly addressed.

Recent records from 2022 to 2024 indicate several maintenance and quality-of-life issues in the vicinity, though not all directly related to the building's condition. These include multiple street cleaning needs, graffiti incidents (most recently in December 2024), reports of noise disturbances (including amplified sound in November 2024), and an overgrown tree complaint (September 2024). While these external factors affect the immediate neighborhood, they are more indicative of general urban upkeep rather than specific building concerns. The property's documented permit history suggests regular maintenance and compliance with building codes over the years, with no recent permit violations or major structural issues reported.

Risk rating

How 115-117 States 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
65th percentile

Out of 348 buildings in this neighborhood, 122 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.

Building age

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

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 70.0%
Moderate concern 17.5%
Severe concern 12.5%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
