Initial analysis

The 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 401-415 Utah Street in Potrero Hill, owned by Andrew S & Mary L Ferrari R, was constructed in 1913 and has undergone several significant safety improvements in recent years. Most notably, the building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit program in 2019, bringing it into compliance with earthquake safety requirements. In 2023-2024, the property received substantial fire safety upgrades, including a new fire alarm system with low-frequency sounders and new manual pull stations throughout the building, with the final inspection and testing completed in March 2024. Historical improvements include window replacements in 2005-2006, with 40 single-pane windows upgraded to double-pane vinyl windows, and exterior repairs in 1995 for fungus damage. The building has a documented history of monitoring and compliance with safety regulations, including the resolution of multiple violations related to fire safety, self-closing doors, and security requirements between 2003-2019. While there have been some street-level issues reported in recent 311 calls regarding garbage, debris, and encampments near the property (most recently in late 2024), these are external to the building itself. The property's fire incident history shows only false alarms and unintentional activations, with no civilian injuries recorded.

Risk rating

How 401-415 Utah 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
36th percentile

Out of 726 buildings in this neighborhood, 465 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.

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 49.6%
Moderate concern 33.2%
Severe concern 17.2%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
