Initial analysis

The multi-family residential building at 827-829 14th Street in Duboce Triangle is a two-story, four-unit apartment structure built in 1902, currently owned by Thomas Slankard. The property has undergone several significant improvements and faced various compliance issues over the years. Most recently, in 2012, the building underwent a substantial kitchen and bathroom remodel including the addition of fireplaces, with associated electrical and plumbing work totaling over $32,000. Prior to this, in 2011, structural improvements were made to enhance seismic safety, including the installation of anchor bolts and straps. A notable compliance issue occurred in 2007-2009 regarding unauthorized conversion of attic space, which was subsequently addressed through proper permitting and construction including the installation of skylights and fire-rated access. Earlier violations from 2000-2005 concerned safety and accessibility issues, including an unpermitted deck and security concerns, all of which were resolved by May 2005.

The building has received regular maintenance and upgrades, including a complete electrical service upgrade in 2009 servicing all units, and various plumbing improvements such as bathroom additions and heater replacements. Recent activity includes several 311 calls regarding exterior maintenance issues such as graffiti and debris, with the most recent being an open graffiti complaint from January 2025. A smoke detector activation incident was recorded with no fire or civilian injuries reported. The property underwent a routine apartment inspection in 2010, though the outcome is not specified in the records. While the building has a history of various violations and compliance issues, these have generally been addressed promptly through appropriate remediation and permitting processes.

Risk rating

How 827-829 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
30th percentile

Out of 287 buildings in this neighborhood, 201 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.

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 42.4%
Moderate concern 23.1%
Severe concern 34.5%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
