Initial analysis

115 Corbett Avenue is a 2-story, 3-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Tsien & Shiang Living Trust. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the past two decades, with the most recent work completed in 2023 involving front exterior stair repairs costing $12,000. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to structural elements, including siding replacement in 2015, multiple stair repairs (2009, 2023), and comprehensive electrical upgrades in 2006-2012, including bathroom rewiring and a complete underground electrical service upgrade in 2005.

The property has experienced some infrastructure challenges, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in 2024 related to tree maintenance, property damage, and sidewalk issues. While the building had past complaints about lead paint (2009) and unpermitted interior work (2006), these issues were promptly addressed and marked as not active. Recent external concerns primarily involve street maintenance and tree-related issues, with multiple cases being resolved or currently open as of 2024. The building's mechanical systems have received attention over the years, with plumbing and electrical work documented throughout the 2000s and early 2010s, including bathroom updates and heating system corrections.

Risk rating

How 115 Corbett 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
47th percentile

Out of 348 buildings in this neighborhood, 184 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 age

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

Neighborhood location

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

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 72.3%
Moderate concern 15.5%
Severe concern 12.2%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
