Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 574 Naples Street in the Excelsior neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1904, currently owned by Ronald Varnum. The building's maintenance history shows attention to roofing infrastructure, with permits issued in 1992 and 1995 for roof repairs, though both permits are now expired. A gas line installation was completed in 2013, demonstrating continued infrastructure upgrades. A building complaint was filed in December 2017 regarding a deteriorating backyard fence, though this complaint is currently marked as not active.

The most recent and significant activity associated with the property involves multiple service requests in late 2024, primarily concerning garbage and debris, including instances of abandoned mattresses, furniture, and hazardous waste. There have been several reports of parking enforcement issues related to driveway blocking during this period, with at least one citation issued. A sidewalk blockage caused by A-frame construction was reported and resolved in mid-November 2024. A historical fire complaint from October 2008 was investigated and found to have no merit. Notably, there are records of tenant buyout inquiries at nearby addresses (562 and 580 Naples Street), though no dates or further details are provided in the available data.

Risk rating

How 574 Naples 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

Out of 337 buildings in this neighborhood, 98 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 79.3%
Moderate concern 11.0%
Severe concern 9.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
