Initial analysis

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 44 Regent St in the Outer Mission neighborhood, owned by the Kent & Minling Ruan Trust, is a two-story flats/duplex structure built in 1910. The building's historical permit records show several modifications, including a 1990 kitchen and bathroom remodeling project with interior painting and back porch repairs (completed), and a wall replacement project that year involving removal of a thin wall and installation of a standard 2x4 wall (completed). A street space permit was issued in 2006, along with an electrical permit for garage door opener installation, though the latter permit has since expired.

The property has experienced a series of recent municipal service calls, particularly in late 2024, with multiple reports of garbage and debris issues requiring street and sidewalk cleaning. There are also several open cases currently under investigation or awaiting resolution, including ongoing concerns about pavement defects (since November 2024), and two recent municipal transportation agency issues. Notably, there was a carbon monoxide incident reported at the address, though no civilian injuries were recorded in connection with this event. The building's permit and incident history suggests regular maintenance and modifications over the years, with no documented major structural or safety incidents in recent records, apart from the carbon monoxide incident which appears to be the only fire-related occurrence on file.

Risk rating

How 44 Regent 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 112 buildings in this neighborhood, 55 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.

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 49.7%
Moderate concern 18.1%
Severe concern 32.2%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
