Initial analysis

The 5-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 1210-1214 Utah Street in the Inner Mission, owned by Martha E. Miranda and Mercano Ros, has undergone significant renovations and faced several maintenance challenges since 2017. Recent concerning issues include a filed complaint in February 2024 regarding a difficult-to-open emergency exit door in the back section of the building, which was reported as a fire hazard, and a September 2022 violation for lead paint hazards that was abated in October 2023. The building has experienced multiple infrastructure improvements, including the installation of a fire sprinkler system in 2018-2019, electric rewiring of units, and various plumbing updates. There were also several instances of construction-related complaints, such as improper handling of building materials and expired permits in 2018.

The property has required attention to its safety systems, with multiple fire system violations documented between 2021 and 2022, though they were subsequently corrected. Recently, there have been recurring issues with the sidewalk condition near the property, with reports of collapse and aesthetic cracking in late 2024. Historical complaints from 2004 regarding mold and leaks, and heating issues from 1996, suggest some persistent maintenance challenges. The building underwent substantial modifications between 2018 and 2021, including adding new dwelling units and updating various systems, though some permits expired during this period, resulting in additional complaints and violations that were subsequently addressed.

Risk rating

How 1210-1214 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

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 2237 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 location

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

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 19.1%
Moderate concern 31.0%
Severe concern 49.9%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
