Augrented Insights

Initial analysis

The 11-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 6260-6287 3rd Street in Bayview Heights, owned by Cristen C Blanding 2011 Tru, has undergone numerous significant improvements and faced several challenges since its 1964 construction. Most recently, the building has been actively addressing safety and accessibility requirements, with completed upgrades to its fire alarm system in 2024, including new smoke detectors and monitoring capabilities, and ongoing work under the Accessible Building Entrance program to improve ground floor accessibility. However, the property has a notable outstanding issue as a Tier 3 non-compliant soft-story building, with an active complaint (filed in July 2020) regarding failure to comply with mandatory seismic retrofit requirements.

The building has had several maintenance and regulatory matters over the years, including a 2022 siding replacement due to dry-rot, and multiple complaints in 2011 regarding leaks and ventilation problems. Historical violations from 2003-2004 included various safety concerns such as fire escape maintenance, fire proofing, and the need for a gas meter instructional diagram, though these were all subsequently abated. More recent developments include plans to convert a ground floor liquor store to a sandwich shop in 2024, and address various address-related matters through the ABE program. The building's management has generally addressed violations and made consistent efforts to maintain the property, though some historical patterns of unpermitted work (such as roofing in 2012) were noted. Multiple 311 calls in recent years primarily relate to parking enforcement and tree maintenance issues rather than building safety concerns.

Risk rating

How 6275-6283 3Rd 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

2th percentile

Out of 54 buildings in this neighborhood, 53 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.

Director's hearings (past 7 years)

Director's hearings are escalated enforcement actions for buildings that haven't resolved violations — a serious signal.

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 12.0%

Moderate concern 68.2%

Severe concern 19.8%

Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
