Initial analysis

The 2-unit residential building at 404 Andover Street in Bernal Heights, owned by Arjun Dutt and Rity Vohra, has undergone significant renovations since 2011 following multiple violations. The 1907 flats/duplex structure completed substantial improvements in 2011-2012, addressing serious issues documented in October 2011 complaints, including rodent infestation, damaged ceilings/walls, seismic bracing deficiencies, interior door repairs, and smoke detector requirements. These violations, all of which were abated by June 2012, prompted major renovation work including foundation repairs, interior improvements, and the installation of new systems. The building underwent comprehensive updates to both units, including kitchen and bathroom renovations, electrical system upgrades with new panels and smoke detectors, and plumbing improvements totaling over $70,000 in permitted work.

The property has a history of maintenance challenges, with earlier complaints in 1997 regarding ceiling leaks, broken windows, and floor issues, though these were resolved by 2001. More recent records from 2024-2025 indicate ongoing exterior maintenance needs, primarily concerning street cleaning and debris removal, with multiple reports of garbage and debris on the property perimeter being addressed by city services throughout 2024. While these recent issues don't directly concern the building's structural or habitable conditions, they may impact the property's general upkeep and neighborhood presentation. The building's major renovation period from 2011-2012 appears to have successfully addressed its most critical deficiencies, as evidenced by the resolution of all violations related to the 2011 complaints.

Risk rating

How 404 Andover 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
49th percentile

Out of 1276 buildings in this neighborhood, 651 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 70.0%
Moderate concern 18.9%
Severe concern 11.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
