Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 1869-1873 Market Street, located in the Mission Dolores neighborhood, was constructed in 1979 and contains 7 units with ground-floor retail space. The property is currently undergoing accessibility improvements, with a permit filed in June 2023 for doorbell installation, color contrast striping, and door closer adjustments as part of the Accessible Business Entrance Program. The building has undergone several significant maintenance projects, including reroofing in 2011 at a cost of $12,600, and has had two street space permits issued in 2006 and 2018.

The building had several safety violations in October 2003, including the need for smoke detectors and gas shutoff tools, which were promptly abated by November 2003. A completed floor repair in 1986 addressed a safety issue under a Department of Public Works order. More recently, there has been a series of maintenance and cleanup issues documented through 311 calls in 2024-2025, primarily related to graffiti and debris on and around the property, though all have been resolved. A fire incident was recorded on the property, classified as "100 Fire, other," with intentional ignition cause but no civilian injuries reported. The property's development history shows a previous attempt in 1990 to establish a connection between two commercial spaces, though this permit was cancelled.

Risk rating

How 1869-1873 Market 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 799 buildings in this neighborhood, 248 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

Building size

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

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 53.2%
Moderate concern 24.6%
Severe concern 22.2%
