Initial analysis

The two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 148 Locksley Avenue in Forest Knolls, owned by Kbam Properties LLC, has maintained relatively good condition since its construction in 1963. The building has undergone several important maintenance updates, including a re-roofing project completed in 2016 at a cost of $9,000, which is a significant infrastructure improvement. More than fifteen years ago, in 2008, the property required plumbing work involving the replacement of a sidewalk sewer line and P-trap, which was successfully completed.

The building's only recorded violation occurred in March 2003, when a fire hazard involving loose combustible storage in the garage was documented and promptly addressed by mid-April 2003. During that same period, a routine housing inspection was conducted, though no subsequent violations were noted in the building's records. The property has experienced minimal external issues, as evidenced by two 311 calls - one in 2016 regarding a bent parking permit sign and another in 2011 about a flickering streetlight - neither of which directly impacted the building's condition or habitability. Since these incidents occurred several years ago and since no major violations or complaints have been recorded in more recent years, it appears the property has been maintained in good standing with housing regulations and safety requirements.

Risk rating

How 148 Locksley Ave'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 50 buildings in this neighborhood, 27 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 (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

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 40.2%
Moderate concern 20.2%
Severe concern 39.6%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
