Initial analysis

The 110 Gardenside Drive building, a 6-story, 17-unit multi-family residential property constructed in 1975, has undergone several significant safety and infrastructure improvements over the past few decades. Most recently, in January 2025, the building's fire alarm system is in the process of being upgraded to comply with current safety codes, with a contract value of $65,175. The building has completed mandatory seismic retrofitting as a Tier 2 soft-story building, which involved adding steel frames on the ground floor, showing compliance with current safety standards. Historical records show the building has faced several maintenance challenges, including water damage issues in 2004 and 2011, a bathroom fire incident in 2005, and various plumbing modifications including water heater replacements in 2018.

Currently, there are active concerns regarding ventilation issues in Unit 402, as reported in August 2024, where cooking fumes and odors from the unit below are reportedly affecting multiple areas of the apartment. The building has experienced multiple routine inspections and fire safety checks, revealing occasional concerns that were typically corrected promptly. Recent 311 calls from late 2024 indicate some external maintenance issues, including a lifted sidewalk tree root (reported November 2024) and multiple reports of parking violations. The property has maintained active compliance with major safety systems, including fire alarms, sprinklers, and other life safety equipment, with records showing regular upgrades and maintenance work to meet current code requirements.

Risk rating

How 110 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

Out of 172 buildings in this neighborhood, 169 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.

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 8.6%
Moderate concern 13.4%
Severe concern 78.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
