Initial analysis

The property at 1785 15th Street, located in the Mission Dolores neighborhood, is a newly constructed 6-story multi-family residential building containing 9 dwelling units, completed after significant development activity from 2014 to 2017. The original structure was demolished to make way for this building, which was developed by Kerman Morris Architects and includes no off-street parking facilities. The construction period saw substantial safety improvements, including the installation of a comprehensive automatic fire alarm system and fire sprinkler system in 2017, along with a new 400-amp electrical service with multiple meters and panels. Numerous plumbing improvements were also implemented, including installation of water heaters and piping for multiple fan coil units.

The building's construction phase generated multiple complaints from neighboring properties, particularly regarding water intrusion and foundation damage issues, with complaints filed in 2016-2017 about construction debris, safety hazards, and unauthorized access to neighboring roofs. The property faced several vacant building ordinance violations in 2013-2014, though these were subsequently abated. Recent records from 2024-2025 show ongoing maintenance concerns in the surrounding area, including various reports of garbage and debris, though these issues appear to be external to the building itself. The property's development was approved through multiple planning processes, with final approvals reflecting the increased unit count from 8 to 9 during construction.

Risk rating

How 1785 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.
