Initial analysis

The property at 412-414 Texas Street in Potrero Hill is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1904, currently owned by Linus N. Liang and Esther Pun. The building has undergone significant improvements over recent years, with notable work including seismic retrofitting in 2018 involving foundation replacement costing $70,000, installation of two new furnaces in 2019, and upgrading to solar power in 2021 with PV installations of 4.08 kW and 6.46 kW systems. Recent permits show ongoing maintenance work, including a $50,000 siding replacement at the back of the house issued in October 2024, and window replacements in 2022.

The building has documented multiple fire safety concerns, with violation notices issued regularly between 2016 and 2024 for various issues including alarm system maintenance, multiple fire code violations, and decorative materials concerns. The most recent fire code violations were issued in October 2024, and while some previous violations have been abated, the pattern of recurring violations suggests ongoing fire safety compliance challenges. The property has also experienced infrastructure upgrades, including plumbing work in 2018 for system improvements, and electrical system upgrades including a 200-amp service installation. Historical records indicate past concerns about illegal attic space and basement bathroom usage, though these complaints are no longer active. The building's maintenance history shows ongoing attention to major systems and structure, with particular focus on seismic safety, energy efficiency, and general upkeep. Recent 311 calls from 2023-2024 have primarily related to external issues such as sidewalk graffiti, parking violations, and street cleaning matters, rather than building-specific problems.

Risk rating

How 412-414 Texas 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
86th percentile

Out of 726 buildings in this neighborhood, 102 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.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Neighborhood location

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

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

12-Month severity forecast

Severe concern 4.3%
