Initial analysis

The three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building at 627 14th Street in Mission Dolores, owned by Decedents Trust The and dating back to 1900, has undergone several significant improvements over the past decades. Most notably, the building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2019 (at a cost of $50,000) in compliance with San Francisco's earthquake safety requirements, following a complaint in December 2018 regarding non-compliance. Recent building maintenance has included substantial $31,300 reroofing work completed in 2021, while the building's historical records show earlier improvements such as vinyl siding installation in 1990 and reroofing in 1992.

The building has faced two major routine housing inspections that generated multiple violations requiring correction. The first occurred in March 2005, identifying issues such as fire extinguisher maintenance, smoke enclosure door closers, and guardrail repairs, all of which were resolved by April 2005. A subsequent inspection in June 2010 noted concerns including central alarm system maintenance and egress obstructions, though many of these violations were similar to those cited in the earlier inspection. In December 2022, a fire alarm system issue was identified and corrected within two weeks. The property has had various maintenance and service calls in recent years, including multiple reports of loose garbage (2020-2022) and the most recent 311 complaint regarding excessive noise from October 2024, which remains open. The building's historical records also show foundation work and dry rot repairs attempted in 1990, though that permit expired.

Risk rating

How 627 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
77th percentile

Out of 799 buildings in this neighborhood, 184 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.

Building age

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 52.9%
Moderate concern 25.6%
Severe concern 21.5%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
