Initial analysis

The 4-unit, 2-story apartment building at 730 Bacon Street in the Portola neighborhood, constructed in 1963, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past two decades. Most recently, between 2014-2015, the property faced multiple violations and repair needs, including termite infestations (2014), water damage (2014-2015), balcony repair issues (2015), expired fire extinguishers (2015), and various structural maintenance requirements. The building underwent several permitted repairs during this period, including roof repairs, balcony work, and the replacement of a sliding patio door, though there were also instances of work being performed without proper permits.

Earlier history shows the building has faced more serious concerns, including fire damage repairs in 1997 and expired fire escape repairs in 1998. The property has had recurring maintenance issues, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls regarding various problems between 2014-2024, such as graffiti, garbage and debris, and fire extinguisher concerns. A significant cluster of violations was documented in late 2014 through early 2015, addressing various issues including paint conditions, weatherproofing, guardrails, and lead paint concerns. The building's owner, Kyi Aung & Caroline Lim LLC, has generally complied with required repairs and permits when violations were issued, though there have been instances of unpermitted work that necessitated subsequent corrections.

Risk rating

How 730 Bacon 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
17th percentile

Out of 255 buildings in this neighborhood, 212 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.

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 54.2%
Moderate concern 24.6%
Severe concern 21.2%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
