Initial analysis

The 6-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 25 Russ Street in the South of Market neighborhood, owned by the Marilyn J De Vera Living Trust, has a complex history dating back to its 1927 construction. The most significant recent development occurred in August 2023 with a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade costing $31,960, including the installation of new wireless low-frequency horns in sleeping areas to comply with modern fire safety codes. The building's fire safety history includes a serious fire incident in 2002 that required substantial repairs across multiple units, including the replacement of a smoke detector in a second-floor corridor. In 2024, a violation was issued related to the sprinkler/standpipe systems, though records indicate this was subsequently abated.

The building has undergone regular safety inspections, with a notable health and safety inspection in 2011 revealing fire extinguisher compliance issues that were resolved within two months. The property has been subject to multiple 311 calls in recent months (between November 2024 and January 2025), primarily related to street cleaning issues including garbage, debris, and several encampment reports in the vicinity, though these exterior matters do not directly reflect on the building's internal conditions. The building received a roofing upgrade in 1995 and has maintained basic compliance with housing inspections, with no active violations or complaints regarding internal building conditions in recent years.

Risk rating

How 25 Russ 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 430 buildings in this neighborhood, 155 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.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

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 44.7%
Moderate concern 30.5%
Severe concern 24.8%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
