Initial analysis

The Glenridge Apartments is a 10-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located at 125-179 Bemis Street in Glen Park, constructed in 1968 and currently owned by Glenridge Apartments Reside. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and infrastructure updates over the past decade, with the most recent being a comprehensive electrical upgrade involving multiple sub-panel changeouts in September 2023, representing a substantial modernization effort. A notable pattern of roofing maintenance is evident, with multiple reroofing projects undertaken between 2017 and 2022, ranging in cost from $6,500 to $57,000.

The building has experienced recurring plumbing and water-related issues, particularly involving the sewage/ejector systems, with multiple repairs documented between 2020 and 2022, including emergency repairs and replacement of pumps and underground drains. A significant cluster of building violations and complaints occurred in late 2021, including issues related to mold, sink cabinet repairs, general sanitation, and construction cleanup concerns, though these were marked as "Not Active" by January 2018. Historical records indicate the building was part of the mandatory Soft Story Retrofit Program in 2017, with initial violations regarding seismic retrofit compliance that were later resolved. The most recent tenant complaints in early 2024 reported issues with heating systems, ventilation, and window functionality. The property has undergone regular inspections and maintenance, including water heater replacements (2012-2015) and various plumbing system upgrades, though recurring issues with water intrusion between 2020-2022 suggest some persistent infrastructure challenges.

Risk rating

How 125-179 Bemis 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
2th percentile

Out of 364 buildings in this neighborhood, 357 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.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

NOV rate, owner's portfolio

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 8.4%
Moderate concern 25.9%
Severe concern 65.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
