Initial analysis

The property at 504 Liberty Street is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building located in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood. Built in 1900 and currently owned by the Andrew Moss Living Trust, this flats and duplex-style building has undergone significant renovations and maintenance over the past few decades. Most recently, in 2020, improvements included the installation of a direct vent gas fireplace and electrical rewiring of light fixtures in each room. In 2018, Unit 504B received a bathroom remodel with new finishes throughout. The building has seen substantial structural work, including basement footing replacements in 2014 and various electrical upgrades, such as the addition of kitchen circuits in 2003 and bedroom circuits in 2002.

The building's maintenance history reveals attention to safety and code compliance, particularly during the early 2000s when several violations were addressed, including fire safety requirements and handrail repairs. All documented violations from 2001 and 2006 were resolved, with the most recent routine inspection in 2006 showing compliance with city housing standards. Significant earlier repairs included foundation work in 1992, when 60 linear feet of foundation was replaced along with other structural improvements. The property has had minimal recent issues, with only two 311 calls recorded in 2018 and 2019, relating to a blocked sidewalk during construction and an abandoned vehicle, neither of which were directly related to building habitability.

Risk rating

How 504 Liberty 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
33th percentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 856 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 location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

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 53.6%
Moderate concern 22.7%
Severe concern 23.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
