Initial analysis

The 15-unit, 4-story multi-family residential building at 150 Gardenside Drive in Twin Peaks, currently owned by Ac3 Lp, has undergone significant maintenance and safety improvements over the past two decades. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory seismic soft-story retrofit in 2016 (Tier 2, CFC Issued), demonstrating compliance with San Francisco's seismic safety requirements. Recent concerns include an active building complaint filed in January 2024 regarding common areas, as well as multiple fire safety violations in 2023-2024 related to sprinkler systems, alarm systems, and sleeping area requirements that are still being addressed. The building has a history of addressing structural issues, including dry rot repairs (most recently in 2019 on the south side exterior wall), a major reroofing project in 2012 costing $59,000, and various deck repairs and renovations between 2000 and 2012. Fire safety systems have required ongoing attention, with multiple violations and repairs noted between 2019 and 2024, including sprinkler system maintenance, alarm systems, and fire extinguisher checks.

The building's maintenance history shows consistent attention to structural and safety concerns, though several recent fire safety violations remain open or were only recently corrected. Past issues with unpermitted construction were documented in 2000, 2012, and 1997, particularly concerning balcony repairs and resurfacing. The property has experienced periodic deck and balcony maintenance requirements, with multiple permits pulled for repairs between 1997 and 2016. Historical building violations from 2003 regarding guardrails and combustible storage in garages were resolved, though recent complaints suggest ongoing maintenance and safety monitoring is necessary. The building has also seen regular infrastructure improvements, including the installation of garage receptacles in 2012 and various other maintenance projects over the years, indicating ongoing investment in the property's upkeep and safety systems.

Risk rating

How 150 Gardenside 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

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.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Neighborhood location

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 24.3%
Moderate concern 17.2%
Severe concern 58.5%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
