Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 276 Nevada St in Bernal Heights, built in 1900, has undergone significant recent renovations and faced multiple compliance issues. Most notably, in 2023, the property received a Notice of Violation for unpermitted construction work, including foundation replacement and structural modifications, which remains active as of 2023. Recent permitted improvements include the replacement of 13 front windows (February 2024), full-house siding replacement (October 2024), and substantial mechanical upgrades including the installation of three roof-mounted heat pumps (2023) and replacement of a gas water heater with an 80-gallon heat pump unit (February 2024). The building's heating and cooling systems were significantly upgraded in 2023 with the installation of heat pumps and associated electrical work.

In addition to the construction-related issues, the property has faced several maintenance challenges, including a collapsed sidewalk (reported December 2023) and various sewage and pavement issues. There were also concerns from neighbors regarding the visible installation of industrial-grade heat pumps on the roof in April 2023, though these were subsequently addressed through proper permitting. Two tenant buyouts were recorded for the property, one in 2021 for $50,000 and another in 2022 for $75,000, both involving single tenants. While many recent improvements indicate active property maintenance and upgrading efforts, the ongoing active violations related to unpermitted construction work warrant attention to ensure full regulatory compliance.

Risk rating

How 276 Nevada 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

Out of 1276 buildings in this neighborhood, 970 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.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.

Neighborhood location

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

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 39.1%
Moderate concern 41.9%
Severe concern 19.1%
