Initial analysis

The 3-unit multi-family residential building at 70 Pond Street in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood, owned by Alberto M. and Marta Rodriguez, was constructed in 1900 as a two-story flats and duplex structure. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades, including a complete remodeling project in 2004 valued at $130,000 that encompassed both the first and second floors with detailed interior renovations, electrical rewiring, and the installation of modern safety features such as smoke alarms. The building has received necessary infrastructure upgrades, including a sewer lateral replacement from the garage to the sidewalk with new cleanouts and traps in 2016, and a reroofing project completed in 2022 at a cost of $17,458.

Recent maintenance and safety issues have been limited, though there were two sewer-related incidents in late 2020 (a sewage backup on October 27 and a water leak on November 3) that were promptly resolved by the Public Utilities Commission. The property has experienced some street-level maintenance challenges, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls between 2021 and 2023 concerning sidewalk cleaning, loose garbage, and waste removal, though these are primarily related to street conditions rather than building-specific issues. A dust complaint was filed in May 2021 regarding construction-related debris, which was addressed by building management. The most recent street-related incident was a general cleaning request in April 2023, which was also resolved. The property appears to have been well-maintained overall, with no recorded violations or safety concerns directly related to the building structure or systems in recent years.

Risk rating

How 70 Pond 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
45th percentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 703 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.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

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 59.5%
Moderate concern 17.3%
Severe concern 23.2%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
