Initial analysis

The 4-unit, 2-story apartment building at 300 Bocana St in Bernal Heights, built in 1959 and currently owned by Scott Shane Revocable Trust, has undergone several significant renovations and faced various maintenance challenges over the past two decades. Most notably, in 2017, the building underwent multiple substantial improvements including kitchen and bathroom remodels ($35,000), dry rot repairs, and window replacements ($6,000), though these projects initially prompted some violations for work done without proper permits before being resolved. Earlier renovations in 2008 addressed similar issues, with multiple bathroom remodels and dry rot repairs totaling approximately $22,000. The building has a documented history of maintenance issues related to dry rot, windows, and plumbing systems, with all major repairs being properly permitted and completed once violations were addressed.

The property faced several regulatory challenges between 2001-2002, including multiple violations regarding fire safety systems, lead paint hazards, and other maintenance issues, though these were all resolved by January 2002. A more recent fire safety violation regarding combustible storage was documented in 2016, though there are no current active violations on record. The most recent building-related complaint occurred in 2018 regarding electrical systems, which was promptly corrected within one month. The property has undergone regular maintenance and improvements, as evidenced by multiple completed permits for various systems including plumbing and electrical upgrades. Recent concerns have primarily centered around parking issues, with multiple citations for parking violations near the property being recorded between 2023-2024, though these are external issues not directly related to the building's condition or safety.

Risk rating

How 300 Bocana 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
36th percentile

Out of 1276 buildings in this neighborhood, 817 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.

Neighborhood location

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 47.4%
Moderate concern 16.9%
Severe concern 35.8%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
