Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 57 Nordhoff Street in Glen Park, owned by the Nancy J Murray 2016 Trust, has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects since its construction in 1906. The most recent major work, documented in October 2024, involves a $36,000 re-roofing project, marking the building's second roofing replacement in over two decades (the previous one was completed in 2003 for $13,500). The property has seen substantial interior improvements, including a complete kitchen remodel in 2006 ($12,000) and a bathroom renovation in 2008 ($2,500), both of which included associated electrical and plumbing upgrades. A notable incident occurred in January 2009 when a complaint was filed regarding unauthorized kitchen installation on the first floor, though this violation was resolved within a month.

The building's maintenance record shows attention to critical systems, with a new galvanized gas line installation completed in 2020. While the property has experienced several safety-related incidents, including a cooking fire, smoke detector activation, and carbon monoxide detector activation (all with no reported injuries), these events appear to have been isolated and not indicative of systemic issues. Recent activity around the property in 2024 has primarily consisted of external matters, including multiple reports of parking violations and sidewalk issues, though these are municipal matters not directly related to the building's condition. The sidewalk defect reported in March 2024 involved both a collapsed sidewalk and water issue related to a nearby tree, which suggests attention to exterior maintenance may be needed.

Risk rating

How 57 Nordhoff 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
60th percentile

Out of 364 buildings in this neighborhood, 146 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 82.3%
Moderate concern 11.7%
Severe concern 6.1%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
