Initial analysis

The 5-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 201-203 Bosworth Street in Bernal Heights, owned by Joe and Marjorie Leong, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1924. Most notably, the building completed mandatory soft-story seismic retrofitting in 2015 (as a Tier 3 building) at a cost of $20,000, and has since addressed fire safety compliance with a fire alarm system upgrade in 2022 costing $6,800. Recent electrical improvements are underway, with a permit issued in August 2024 to upgrade the electrical service for six apartments from 30 amps to 100 amps, representing a substantial infrastructure modernization. The building has also seen various maintenance and improvement projects, including window replacements in 2019, gas line upgrades in 2020, and earlier structural work involving bolting and plywood installation in 2000.

The property currently faces several active building violations filed in November 2022 related to fire safety, smoke detection compliance, and plumbing permits, though many of these appear to be administrative in nature rather than representing immediate safety concerns. A gas leak incident and alarm system activation were recorded in 2022, with no civilian injuries in either incident. Routine apartment inspections have been conducted regularly, with the most recent significant violations appearing to stem from improper storage and fire safety compliance issues. The building's maintenance history shows attention to key structural and safety systems, including a significant termite repair in 1992 and staircase repairs in 1989. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to street and sidewalk cleaning issues in the immediate vicinity, rather than specific building concerns, with the most recent being a flooding/sewer issue reported in December 2022 that was transferred to appropriate authorities for handling.

Risk rating

How 201-203 Bosworth 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 1276 buildings in this neighborhood, 1123 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.

NOV rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building NOV rate across everything this owner manages — high rates signal pattern neglect.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 32.1%
Moderate concern 15.9%
Severe concern 52.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
