Initial analysis

The 5-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 471 3rd Street, owned by Ravetti Properties LLC, was constructed in 1907 and has experienced several notable events throughout its history. Most recently, in October 2024, permits were filed for the addition of a deli and coffee service to the existing liquor store, along with associated plumbing and electrical work, though this raised concerns about work being performed without proper permits. The building has faced multiple compliance issues, particularly in 2011 when it was cited for various violations including problems with the fire escape system, lead paint hazards, interior surface damage, and smoke detector maintenance, all of which were subsequently abated. A significant fire occurred in 2000 affecting the first floor, which required $10,000 in repairs, and earlier that same year, additional improvements included reroofing work.

The property underwent substantial renovations in 2001, including electrical, plumbing, and drywall work valued at $60,000, and in 1993, repairs were made to address rotted wood siding on the west exterior wall. More recent concerns have centered around the front of the building, with multiple 311 calls in January 2025 regarding encampments and debris on the surrounding streets, though these are external to the building itself. The property has maintained an active maintenance schedule, with recent work including the installation of GFCI outlets and additional sinks in the deli area as of November 2024. A notable health and safety inspection was conducted in January 2011, which revealed various interior maintenance issues that were subsequently addressed. The building's history shows a pattern of addressing violations and making improvements, though recent complaints suggest some concerns about compliance with permit requirements in 2024.

Risk rating

How 471 3Rd 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
9th percentile

Out of 268 buildings in this neighborhood, 244 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.

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 57.7%
Moderate concern 29.6%
Severe concern 12.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
