Initial analysis

The 9-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 1801 15th Street in Mission Dolores, owned by Frances Malakis 2012 Tr and constructed in 1924, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over the past years. Most recently, in October 2024, the building received violations for both alarm system and fire extinguisher maintenance issues that were subsequently abated. In 2021, the property underwent repairs to address multiple violations, including installation of handrails, window repairs, stair repairs, and addressing wall cracks, all of which were completed by January 2022. The building has an active soft-story retrofit compliance status (Tier 3), confirming that required seismic improvements have been completed.

Historically, the property has faced various maintenance challenges, including unauthorized window replacements (2013-2014), a failed attempt to convert the garage to additional dwelling units (2016), and multiple fire alarm system outages. A routine inspection in 2021 revealed several violations related to building safety, security, and maintenance that were subsequently addressed. Recent 311 calls from 2024-2025 have primarily concerned graffiti issues, with multiple instances reported between January 2024 and January 2025.

Risk rating

How 1801 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.
