Initial analysis

The property at 77 Ramona Ave is a 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building located in Mission Dolores, constructed in 1923 and currently owned by Marlene P Getchell Revocable Trust. The building has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, most notably a voluntary soft-story seismic strengthening project initiated in 2019 costing $120,000, which included corridor widening and water heater relocation. Other major improvements include a complete reroofing in 2017 ($11,180), structural reinforcement work in 2014 (including exterior wall bolting and plywood installation), and significant unit upgrades in 2014 including kitchen remodels, window replacements, and plumbing updates across multiple units. The electrical system has also been modernized with a 200-amp service upgrade in 2013 and the installation of a new subpanel and circuit system.

The building has maintained regular inspections and addressed various maintenance issues over the years. A cluster of violations was recorded in January 2004 related to safety concerns with exterior stairs, guardrails, and fire safety, all of which were abated by March 2004. While there were unauthorized kitchen renovation complaints in 2003, these were resolved promptly. Recent activity around the building has primarily involved street-level maintenance issues, with multiple encampment reports and sidewalk cleaning requests recorded in November 2023, though these are primarily related to public spaces rather than the building itself. The property's maintenance record shows consistent attention to structural integrity and safety requirements, with no active violations or unresolved complaints on file.

Risk rating

How 77 Ramona Ave'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
76th percentile

Out of 799 buildings in this neighborhood, 192 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.

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.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 53.3%
Moderate concern 21.3%
Severe concern 25.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
