Initial analysis

The property at 115 San Jose Ave in the Inner Mission district is a two-story, multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, containing 4 apartments. The building has undergone several significant maintenance improvements over the years, with the most recent being a $12,000 reroofing project completed in August 2023. Historical records show attention to structural maintenance, including an attempted deck repair in 2001 and a stair repair project in 1991, though these earlier permits either expired or were cancelled.

The building has faced multiple housing code violations, with a notable cluster of issues documented in 2001 that were resolved by July 2002, including problems with exterior stairs and landings, handrails, security requirements (such as deadlatch locks and self-closing doors), and gas utility safety concerns (including shutoff tools and instructional diagrams). A routine inspection of the common areas in 2008 was completed without any ongoing issues. More recently, there have been several 311 calls related to the property's vicinity, primarily concerning street cleaning matters, with no direct implications for building safety or maintenance. The most recent violation-related interaction was in June 2024 regarding construction noise, which was transferred for tracking purposes. The building's documented history shows periodic maintenance and resolution of violations, with no active violations or building-specific complaints in recent years.

Risk rating

How 115 San Jose 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
44th percentile

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 1333 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building size

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

Neighborhood location

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 38.6%
Moderate concern 20.5%
Severe concern 40.9%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
