Initial analysis

The three-story, five-unit apartment building at 821 Burnett Avenue in Twin Peaks, owned by Randall E. and Laura D. Meyers, was constructed in 1973 and has undergone several significant improvements over the years. The building completed mandatory soft-story seismic retrofitting in 2016 (Tier 3) with a $40,000 investment, demonstrating compliance with San Francisco's safety requirements. Recent maintenance includes a 2017 fire alarm system upgrade, with replacement of control panels and detectors, and exterior improvements such as siding repairs in 2017 and wood shingle replacement on the building's front facade. The property has seen consistent upkeep of essential systems, including a furnace replacement in 2016, kitchen remodels with modern amenities (2016), and window replacements with energy-efficient units in 2009.

The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to structural and safety requirements, with significant investments in infrastructure including a $23,000 siding repair project in 2017 and various electrical and plumbing upgrades. Historical records indicate attention to building preservation, with repairs to address fungus damage in 2006 and a complete reroofing effort in 2000. Routine housing inspections conducted between 2001 and 2016, while requiring no specific follow-up actions, suggest regular oversight of basic building conditions. Recent maintenance patterns indicate ongoing investment in both safety systems and resident amenities, with particular attention to fire safety and seismic stability.

Risk rating

How 821 Burnett 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 172 buildings in this neighborhood, 65 are predicted to be safer.
