Initial analysis

1780 Revere Avenue is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in the Bayview neighborhood, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Brian Thomas Cross. The property has undergone significant renovations and improvements over the past decade, including major work in 2015-2018 involving mechanical system upgrades, exterior stair replacement, kitchen and bathroom remodeling, and window installations, with the largest permit showing $74,000 in work. Between 2014-2017, all units received substantial updates including plumbing system improvements, radiant heating installation, and electrical system upgrades. Notable completed projects include a dormer installation (2014), exterior improvements including new planters and pavers (2015), and comprehensive plumbing work including sewer line and water line replacements (2014-2016).

Recent maintenance and repair issues are of particular note, with multiple sewer-related incidents reported in 2023-2024, including two sewage backup cases. The property has also experienced some exterior maintenance challenges, as evidenced by recent 311 calls regarding garbage and debris (2024) and tree issues (2023). A dormer installation violation was recorded in December 2014 but was resolved by June 2015, and there is currently an open planning record regarding illegal parking improvements in the front yard. The building appears to be receiving ongoing maintenance attention, as evidenced by the resolution of most 311 calls and the completion of numerous permits over the years, though the recent sewer issues may warrant monitoring.

Risk rating

How 1780 Revere Ave'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
63th percentile

Out of 382 buildings in this neighborhood, 141 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.

Neighborhood location

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

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

Building age

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 74.2%
Moderate concern 18.8%
Severe concern 7.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
