Initial analysis

59 Landers Street is a three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1923 in the Mission Dolores neighborhood, owned by Benjamin & Marianne Santana. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the years, most notably completing a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2018 with a permitted cost of $80,000, following a violation notice in late 2017 for non-compliance with San Francisco's earthquake safety requirements. Other recent improvements include a reroofing project completed in 2017 (cost: $6,985), and window replacements in 2011 that met modern energy efficiency standards with wood double-hung windows. The building has a historical record of routine apartment inspections showing consistent oversight, with the most recent housing inspection occurring in 2016.

The property experienced one notable complaint in January 2018 regarding early morning construction noise during holiday hours, though this was ultimately resolved. External to the building itself, the surrounding area has seen various municipal service requests and calls, including street light maintenance (2021), tree damage (2019), and several parking-related issues. The building's soft-story retrofit program designation and completion places it in compliance with current seismic safety requirements, and the completion of both the reroofing and window replacement projects demonstrates ongoing maintenance and upgrading of building systems. The property's violation history shows prompt attention to required improvements, particularly in addressing the soft-story retrofit requirement after receiving a notice of violation.

Risk rating

How 59 Landers 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
43th percentile

Out of 799 buildings in this neighborhood, 455 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 age

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 42.3%
Moderate concern 22.7%
Severe concern 35.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
