Initial analysis

The property at 710 Douglass Street is a 2-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building located in Noe Valley, owned by Andrew John Holdsworth and constructed in 1900. The building underwent significant renovation work in 2003, when multiple permits were issued and subsequently expired, including plans for foundation work, garage construction, and interior remodeling with a combined estimated cost of over $125,000. During this period, there were several building complaints and violations filed in July-September 2003 regarding work exceeding permit scope, specifically concerning a 10-foot retaining wall at the rear that required engineer calculations, as well as concerns about unsafe conditions with the building being supported on jacks and not properly barricaded. While these violations were marked as not active or abated, they indicate a period of construction activity that required additional oversight.

More recent improvements to the property include the completion of repairs to the front entrance baluster and guardrail in 2016 (cost: $8,000) and a garage door replacement in 2010 (cost: $2,000). Electrical upgrades were completed in 2004, including the installation of lighting, switches, receptacles, and a panel. The property has experienced some infrastructure issues in recent years, with multiple reports of tree root damage to the sidewalk in 2019-2022, and pavement defects reported in early 2019. Most recently, there were two reports of abandoned vehicles near the property in November 2023, though these were resolved quickly. The building's permit and inspection history suggests a generally maintained property since the major renovation period of 2003-2004, with no significant safety violations recorded in recent years.

Risk rating

How 710 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

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 507 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.

Property class: multi-family flat

2–4 unit flats (class F) are a common SF building type with their own maintenance and complaint patterns.

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 80.0%
Moderate concern 14.2%
Severe concern 5.9%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
