Initial analysis

The property at 1721-1725 Newhall Street is a one-story, two-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Bayview neighborhood. Built in 1926 and currently owned by Michael L. and Lorna D. Steady, this building has undergone several significant improvements over the years. Most notably, in 2013, 18 energy-efficient vinyl windows were installed, complying with modern building codes, along with a gas houseline extension. Earlier improvements include the legalization of a basement unit in 1992 and the replacement of multiple windows in 1986, along with repairs to address stucco and dry rot issues from that same year.

The building has a relatively clean safety and compliance record, with only one documented housing complaint from 1996 regarding dryer ventilation, which was promptly addressed within a month. Recent activity at the property has primarily involved exterior maintenance, with multiple 311 calls in late 2024 related to street cleaning and debris removal, though these generally concerned public areas rather than direct building issues. Several planning applications have been filed regarding the property, most concerning proposals to subdivide the lot or address its width requirements, though these were ultimately disapproved or withdrawn. The most significant recent work was the comprehensive window replacement project in 2013, which improved both the building's aesthetics and energy efficiency.

Risk rating

How 1721-1725 Newhall 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
71th percentile

Out of 382 buildings in this neighborhood, 111 are predicted to be safer.
