Initial analysis

The 10-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 330 Alemany Blvd in Bernal Heights, constructed in 1964 and owned by James Roderick Blanding 201, has undergone significant safety and infrastructure upgrades over the past decade. Most notably, the building completed a fire alarm system replacement in 2023, following a similar system upgrade in 2019 that included modern features such as low-frequency sounders in sleeping rooms. The property achieved full compliance with seismic safety requirements in 2017 through a soft story retrofit under SFBC Chapter 4D, earning a CFC certificate. Recent plumbing improvements include the replacement of a 100-gallon water heater in 2018.

The building's maintenance history reveals ongoing challenges with water-related issues, including recurring plumbing problems as documented in a 2023 sewer odor incident and earlier complaints about leaks, water damage, and mold. While there have been multiple fire safety complaints and violations in the past regarding alarm systems, extinguishers, and other safety equipment, records indicate these issues were consistently addressed and corrected. The property experienced various maintenance issues in the early 2000s, including concerns about interior surfaces, fire safety, and infrastructure, all of which were resolved. Recent routine inspections have focused on common area conditions, and the most recent periodic health and safety inspection was filed in November 2023, which remains active as of the latest available data.

Risk rating

How 330 Alemany Blvd'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
3th percentile

Out of 1276 buildings in this neighborhood, 1238 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.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Neighborhood location

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 8.2%
Moderate concern 33.5%
Severe concern 58.3%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
