Initial analysis

The property at 283-285 Anderson Street in Bernal Heights is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1907, currently owned by Araica Hernan. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most recent work being the replacement of a 30-gallon water heater in May 2023. In 2019, two vinyl windows were replaced with energy-efficient units meeting modern U-factor standards. The building received a new roof in 2003 at a cost of $6,500, and substantial renovations were completed in 1986, including updates to both kitchens with new cabinetry and appliances, along with sheetrock work, insulation of exterior walls, and repairs to dry-rotted studs, though one of these related permits expired.

The property has maintained basic structural integrity with regular maintenance and updates, though there was one permit from 1984 related to a complaint that is now expired. External to the building itself, there have been occasional municipal service calls in the vicinity, primarily relating to parking issues including three reports of abandoned vehicles between 2019 and 2022, and two instances of sidewalk cleaning required due to loose garbage in 2015 and 2018. A pavement defect was reported in 2016, all of which were resolved through appropriate city departments.

Risk rating

How 283-285 Anderson 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
59th percentile

Out of 1276 buildings in this neighborhood, 523 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.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

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 72.7%
Moderate concern 18.2%
Severe concern 9.1%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
