Initial analysis

68-70 Beaver Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in the Duboce Triangle neighborhood, owned by Michael D Polansky and constructed in 1917. The property is currently undergoing window improvements, with permits issued in May 2024 for the installation of eight new front windows with true divided lights and top grids, at an estimated cost of $9,000. The building's maintenance history includes a roofing project from May 1999, though this permit has since expired.

The property has experienced several maintenance and enforcement issues over the past few years, with the most recent being multiple complaints about driveway blocking in June 2024, though enforcement officers were either unable to locate the offending vehicles or the complaints were deemed invalid. The building has faced recurring challenges with graffiti and unauthorized postings, with cases reported in 2023 (two instances), 2021 (illegal postings), and 2019 (when the city experienced a backlog of complaints during the COVID-19 pandemic). Infrastructure concerns were documented in November 2019 when there was a report of a collapsed sidewalk near a water utility cover. The location has also experienced occasional sidewalk parking violations, with citations issued in 2023 and 2020. In late 2019, there was a notable issue with the sidewalk condition, specifically relating to asphalt and damage surrounding a water utility cover.

Risk rating

How 68-70 Beaver 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 287 buildings in this neighborhood, 37 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.

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.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 70.2%
Moderate concern 18.4%
Severe concern 11.5%
