Initial analysis

The two-story multi-family residential building at 255-257 Randall Street in Glen Park, owned by Omran Revocable Trust, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1907. Most notably, the property has implemented sustainability upgrades, including a solar PV system installation in 2015 (2.16 kW) and an electrical service upgrade in 2018 that relocated the meter to the garage level with new 125A equipment. The building has maintained its infrastructure through regular maintenance, with recent work including window replacements in 2015 (four double-pane windows) and a complete roof renovation in 2014 that involved both new plywood installation and membrane work, with earlier roof-related repairs occurring in 2007-2000.

The property has experienced several parking-related issues in recent years, with multiple reports of abandoned vehicles and driveway blockages between 2022 and 2024, though most cases were resolved through proper enforcement actions. An open case from August 2024 regarding construction materials blocking the sidewalk remains pending resolution, representing the only current unresolved issue. The building's maintenance history shows consistent attention to structural and safety improvements, with no recorded safety violations or significant resident complaints in the available data period. The property has had three separate window replacement projects (2000, 2015) and multiple roof-related repairs, indicating ongoing commitment to preserving and upgrading the building's systems and features.

Risk rating

How 255-257 Randall 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
89th percentile

Out of 364 buildings in this neighborhood, 40 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.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 82.6%
Moderate concern 12.0%
Severe concern 5.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
