Initial analysis

The property at 100 Broad Street in Oceanview is a two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1908, featuring three units plus a commercial storefront. The building has undergone several significant renovations and repairs over the past decade, with the most recent major work completed in 2018, including comprehensive bathroom and kitchen remodels, electrical updates, and drywall replacement. Prior improvements address various structural and aesthetic aspects, including car damage repairs, window installations, and electrical rewiring, with building permits showing proper documentation and completion of these works.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to basic upkeep, including reroofing work done in 2012 and seismic improvements in 1999 with mudsill bolting to the foundation. However, there have been notable concerns regarding exterior maintenance and waste management in the immediate vicinity, with multiple 311 calls in late 2024 reporting issues with garbage accumulation and overflowing city trash cans. A sidewalk defect reported in January 2025 remains unresolved as of this report's date. While the building had some documented issues in the 1990s regarding heating and ventilation, more recent housing inspections in 2008 and 2010 appear to have been routine with no major violations noted. The property has experienced minimal fire-related incidents, with only one building fire recorded (cause: equipment or heat source failure) and no civilian injuries reported. An abandoned property complaint was filed in 2022, and there was a vacant commercial storefront complaint in 2018, though both are currently listed as not active.

Risk rating

How 100 Broad 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.
