Initial analysis

The two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 184 Portola Drive in Twin Peaks, owned by Hagop and Sona Rita Kupelian, was constructed in 1961 and has had several notable maintenance and safety issues over its history. The most significant cluster of violations occurred in 2003, when the property was cited for multiple safety concerns including the need for handrail repairs, the installation of smoke detectors in the lobby and stairway, and the posting of gas meter instructional diagrams in public areas. Fortunately, all these violations were resolved within approximately two months by November 2003. The building underwent reroofing in September 1991, and more recently, in 2022-2023, there have been multiple complaints regarding waste management, including issues with garbage, debris, and toter management that were addressed through outreach and enforcement measures.

Most recently, in 2023-2024, there have been several service requests related to street conditions around the property, including reports of blocked sidewalks, debris, and graffiti, all of which have been resolved. A planning record indicates a closed informational status for an extension of the owner's unit, though no specific details are provided about this modification. While the building has experienced periodic maintenance and safety issues over the years, the property has generally addressed violations in a timely manner when they occur.

Risk rating

How 184 Portola Dr'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, 69 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.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Building age

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 46.5%
Moderate concern 25.4%
Severe concern 28.1%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
