Initial analysis

The property at 1600-1602 17th Street in Potrero Hill is a single-story multi-family residential building with two units, constructed in 1907, and owned by Anthony & Maria Gloria Rand. The building has undergone several significant infrastructure upgrades over the past decade, including a fire system upgrade in 2015 to meet UL 300 standards and various plumbing improvements such as a new house trap and sewer line installation in 2019, and gas line extensions for patio heaters in 2013. More recent developments include a minor amendment to the Place of Entertainment Permit in 2024 for speaker installation on the outdoor patio.

The building's fire safety systems have experienced recurring issues, particularly with alarm systems, showing a pattern of violations between 2021 and 2024. During this period, there were multiple fire code violations (most recently in September 2024) and a series of alarm-related complaints, though most were resolved quickly with conditions corrected or marked as no merit. The property has generated several 311 calls in early 2025, primarily related to street cleaning and park violations in the surrounding area, though none directly relating to the building's condition or systems. Historical records also show past concerns with elevator operation (removal of victim(s) from stalled elevator) and various fire system activations, though no civilian injuries were reported in any incidents.

Risk rating

How 1600-1602 17Th 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
64th percentile

Out of 726 buildings in this neighborhood, 261 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.

Property class: apartment building

Apartment building — this property classification influences expected violation rates.

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.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 75.9%
Moderate concern 20.3%
Severe concern 3.9%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
