Initial analysis

The property at 125 Russia Avenue in the Excelsior neighborhood is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1960 and currently owned by Red-sky Investments LLC. The building has undergone several inspections and faced multiple regulatory issues over the years, with the most significant recent concerns occurring in 2016 when there were complaints about unauthorized interior remodeling work allegedly adding extra rooms on both floors without permits. These complaints, filed in July and August 2016, were ultimately marked as "Not Active."

The building's documented history shows a pattern of addressing safety and regulatory compliance issues, particularly concerning gas utility safety requirements. Multiple violations were recorded between 2001 and 2007 related to gas meter safety, including the need for instructional diagrams and shutoff tools, though these issues were subsequently abated. A 2004 violation regarding egress obstruction from the rear lobby door was also resolved. The property has undergone several routine housing inspections over the years (1999, 2001, 2004, 2007, and 2011), with all being marked as completed. While there were two parking enforcement incidents reported near the property in 2018 and a double parking complaint in 2023, these were external issues not directly related to the building's condition. The building experienced one graffiti incident in 2016 and a general cleaning complaint in 2018, both of which were resolved. A routine inspection in 1985 was completed to bring the building into code compliance.

Risk rating

How 125 Russia Ave'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 337 buildings in this neighborhood, 239 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 size

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 52.4%
Moderate concern 12.2%
Severe concern 35.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
