Initial analysis

The 58-unit, two-story apartment complex at 20-50 Beatrice Lane in Bayview, currently owned by Shoreview Preservation LP, has undergone significant renovation activity in recent months, with substantial interior remodeling projects filed for multiple units in January 2025. These permits cover units 5-15 and 17-25 Matthew Court, including kitchen and bathroom updates with an estimated cost of $325,000 per project. Earlier renovation work completed in late 2024 included plumbing and electrical upgrades across units 1-6, with replacement of furnaces, plumbing fixtures, water heaters, and lighting systems.

The building has experienced recurring maintenance and safety issues, with an active complaint from January 2025 reporting problems with no heat, pests, and mold. Earlier complaints from 2023-2024 documented various issues including leaks, water damage, fire incidents, and electrical concerns. Historical records show past violations related to heating systems, sanitation, and interior surfaces, though these were ultimately abated by November 2004. The property has completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit program and received a Certificate of Final Completion. Recent building permits and maintenance records suggest ongoing investment in improving the property, though the frequency and nature of recent complaints indicate persistent maintenance challenges.

Risk rating

How 20-50 Beatrice Ln'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
1th percentile

Out of 382 buildings in this neighborhood, 378 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.

NOV rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building NOV rate across everything this owner manages — high rates signal pattern neglect.

Neighborhood location

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 3.7%
Moderate concern 10.0%
Severe concern 86.3%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
