Initial analysis

790 Andover Street is a 4-story, 2-unit multi-family residential building located in Bernal Heights, constructed in 2016 and owned by Lucky Lady Solo 401 K Trust. The building underwent substantial safety improvements during its construction period, including the installation of a comprehensive fire sprinkler system ($20,500) and new plumbing infrastructure for two kitchens, three bathrooms, and associated utilities, as well as a complete electrical system upgrade featuring 200-amp service, lighting, and safety equipment. The building experienced several fire-related incidents between 2018-2023, though all were minor and resulted in no civilian injuries, including instances of gas leaks, electrical issues, and a carbon monoxide detector activation. While there was a period of concern regarding illegal short-term rentals from 2016-2023, this issue was ultimately closed with no violations.

Recent activity at the property has primarily involved external maintenance issues, with multiple 311 calls in 2024 regarding pavement defects, abandoned vehicles, and garbage concerns in the vicinity of the building. The property had numerous fire code violations related to vegetation and trash accumulation in 2005, which were subsequently abated. The building's utility systems have required maintenance, as evidenced by multiple plumbing and electrical permits from 2013-2016, generally indicating proper oversight and system improvements. Of particular note is the building's current compliance with fire safety requirements, as evidenced by the installation of both NFPA 13D and 13R sprinkler systems, though the presence of multiple fire-related incidents suggests ongoing monitoring of building systems may be necessary. The most recent permits and complaints suggest the building systems are functioning properly, though regular maintenance of surrounding infrastructure remains necessary.

Risk rating

How 790 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
