Several termite-related issues were addressed in 1998, including significant repairs to the stucco on three sections of the front side and exterior wooden stairs. The building underwent a routine housing inspection in July 2011, which was not active, and had multiple violations in 2001 related to fire safety, including issues with smoke enclosure door closers, fire extinguishers, and directional signs, all of which were abated by October 2001.

Recent external maintenance issues noted in 2023 include a reported defaced sign and a resolved case involving waste on the premises. The building's infrastructure has required attention over the years, with a 2014 sewer back-up issue being documented and subsequently resolved. Historical improvements to the property have included the installation of vinyl siding in 2003 ($13,650) and various other repairs aimed at maintaining the building's structure and appearance. The property's documented history shows regular attention to maintenance and compliance with building codes, with all identified violations being addressed and resolved in a timely manner. The building has maintained its original use as a multi-family residential property throughout its history.

Risk rating

How 495 Douglass 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
44th percentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 716 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 55.9%
Moderate concern 21.0%
Severe concern 23.1%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
