Initial analysis

The 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 245 30th Street in Glen Park, owned by the Linda A Grimes Revocable Trust, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1914. Most notably, in March 2024, the building completed a substantial fire alarm system upgrade valued at $37,825 to comply with current fire safety codes, including the installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas. The building has a documented history of addressing maintenance issues, particularly regarding water damage and dry rot, with major repairs completed in 2016 involving removal and replacement of stucco with a $25,000 budget. Other significant work includes window upgrades in 2008 (with energy-efficient double-pane windows), various unit renovations in 2004-2005 including kitchen and bathroom improvements, and electrical service upgrades to 200-amp capacity.

The building has maintained compliance with routine housing inspections conducted in 1995, 1999, 2008, and 2009, with no active violations on record. Recent activity in 2024 shows complaints primarily related to municipal transportation services outside the building, rather than building-specific issues. A minor fire alarm system activation was reported without any associated fire or civilian injuries. The property's maintenance record shows attention to both safety systems and general upkeep, with systematic improvements to address historical issues like dry rot and outdated infrastructure, particularly during the 2004-2008 period when multiple units received targeted renovations.

Risk rating

How 245 30Th 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
41th percentile

Out of 364 buildings in this neighborhood, 215 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.

Property class: multi-family flat

2–4 unit flats (class F) are a common SF building type with their own maintenance and complaint patterns.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 58.6%
Moderate concern 21.4%
Severe concern 20.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
