Initial analysis

The 4-unit multi-family residential building at 1454-1468 15th Street in San Francisco's Inner Mission district is a 2-story apartment building constructed in 1911, currently owned by Walter L Ricci Tr. The building's most significant structural work occurred in 2008, when the front unit (1454) underwent a $15,000 project to replace the wood floor framing with a concrete slab, which required multiple permit renewals and revisions. Prior to this, in 2004, there was an attempt to modify the kitchen and skylight that was ultimately cancelled. The building has undergone several important inspections and addressed safety concerns over the years, with a notable health and safety inspection in 2011 revealing multiple violations that were subsequently resolved, including issues with combustible storage, rubbish accumulation, handrails, and fire safety equipment. Earlier routine safety inspections from 2003 also identified violations related to gas meter instructions and fire escape maintenance, all of which were addressed by July 2003.

Recent historical records show consistent maintenance activity, including a 1998 reroofing project. The building's location has experienced periodic issues with sidewalk cleanliness, as evidenced by frequent 311 calls in 2024 regarding garbage, debris, and abandoned items, including multiple reports of mattresses and general litter. Of particular note, there were several street cleaning incidents involving loose garbage and abandoned furniture throughout 2023-2024. The property had an encampment report in October 2024 that was unable to be investigated, and there was a report of a fallen tree in February 2024. While these recent maintenance and cleanliness issues don't directly reflect on the building's internal conditions, they do provide context about the surrounding area and ongoing urban maintenance challenges.

Risk rating

How 1454-1468 15Th 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

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 1095 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 48.2%
Moderate concern 21.0%
Severe concern 30.8%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
