Initial analysis

The property at 831-835 South Van Ness Avenue is a modern 4-story multi-family residential building constructed in 2019, containing three dwelling units and developed by South Van Ness Avenue LLC. The building has undergone substantial development and safety system installations, including a comprehensive fire safety infrastructure with both sprinkler and fire alarm systems installed in 2018 at a total cost of approximately $73,208. The construction included extensive plumbing and electrical work, with the installation of three kitchens, three bathrooms, and other amenities, along with elevator installation in 2019.

More recently, the building has experienced several incidents in 2023-2024, primarily related to parking enforcement issues, with multiple complaints regarding blocked driveways resulting in citations. There have also been some street cleaning concerns, including reports of garbage, debris, and waste requiring municipal intervention. Two fire alarm system activations without fire were recorded, though no injuries or damages occurred. The building's construction period (2017-2019) showed proper attention to safety systems, with all required inspections and installations being completed successfully, including the final inspection for plumbing work completed in December 2018. Prior to the current building's construction, there was one fire violation recorded in 2009 related to the property, which was subsequently closed.

Risk rating

How 831-835 South Van Ness Ave'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, 666 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 size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Number of floors

Building height affects maintenance complexity and is one of the size signals the model uses.

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 80.6%
Moderate concern 12.4%
Severe concern 7.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
