Initial analysis

The two-story multi-family residential building at 1404 Willard St, located in the Parnassus/Ashbury Heights neighborhood, was constructed in 1925 and contains 4 units, currently owned by Adelfia Holdings LLC. The building has undergone several significant electrical upgrades, including a 200-amp underground electrical service installation in 2016, which supports 4 residential 80-amp mains and additional house meters, marking a substantial modernization of the building's infrastructure. Historical records show some compliance issues in 2007-2008 when the property was cited for fire safety violations related to combustible storage in the garage area and fire proofing repairs, though these violations were marked as abated within approximately two months.

Recent activity at the property has primarily involved external maintenance and enforcement issues, particularly concerning parking violations, with multiple documented incidents of blocked driveways and sidewalk parking between 2023-2025, though most of these cases were resolved without direct citations. The building has experienced several safety-related incidents, including a carbon monoxide incident, a gas leak, and an unintentional alarm transmission, though no civilian injuries were reported in any of these cases. The property's permit history shows regular street space usage permits issued between 2011-2019, indicating ongoing engagement with municipal services. Recent 311 calls have addressed various external issues, including graffiti (both on building property and on public utility equipment), illegal postings, and transportation-related concerns, with most being resolved through normal municipal channels.

Risk rating

How 1404 Willard 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
35th percentile

Out of 526 buildings in this neighborhood, 342 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.

Neighborhood location

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 55.6%
Moderate concern 21.7%
Severe concern 22.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
