Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 446-450 14th Street, constructed in 1907, has experienced several notable events throughout its history, with the most significant being an ongoing effort to legalize an apparently unauthorized fourth unit on the ground floor. This unit, reportedly containing a kitchen and full bathroom, was the subject of a 2019 complaint and has led to a filed permit in late 2019 for electrical and fire sprinkler improvements. The building underwent significant window improvements in 2017, replacing 12 aluminum windows with wood double-hung sashes. The property has seen various maintenance issues, particularly in the late 1990s, including plumbing leaks, electrical problems, and structural concerns, though these were addressed through housing inspections. More recent concerns have centered around building maintenance and neighborhood impacts, with a notable period of short-term rental activity in 2018-2019 that generated regulatory scrutiny and was subsequently ceased. The building's recent history, particularly in 2024, has involved issues typically associated with urban environments, such as graffiti remediation, noise complaints, and parking enforcement matters. A significant tenant buyout occurred in July 2018 for the 448 address, involving two tenants and totaling $85,000.

Risk rating

How 446-450 14Th 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

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

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

Building age

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

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.

12-Month severity forecast
