Initial analysis

The Glenridge Apartments, located at 286-298 Bemis Street in Glen Park, is a 14-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1968. The property has undergone significant infrastructure maintenance and upgrades over the past decade, including multiple reroofing projects to meet modern energy code requirements, with the most recent completed in 2022 costing $82,000. In 2020, the building underwent important plumbing work, including the replacement of 80 feet of galvanized underground piping and various water heater installations (2014-2017). Most recently, in mid-2023, there was a comprehensive electrical upgrade with the installation of multiple subpanels.

The building has experienced several concerning maintenance issues and resident complaints in recent years. A notable active complaint from July 2023 reported plumbing problems with cold water fixtures and unresponsive management regarding maintenance requests. Previous complaints include heating system failures (2020), potential lead paint concerns (2020), and a retaining wall issue (2022). Historical violations from 2000 related to gas utility shutoff tools and instructional diagrams were promptly abated. The property has maintained compliance with regular inspections, though there were some instances of work being conducted without proper permits in the past. Recent 311 calls regarding the property have primarily concerned exterior issues such as sidewalk defects and nearby parking concerns, rather than building-specific problems.

Risk rating

How 286-298 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

Out of 364 buildings in this neighborhood, 360 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.

Building size

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

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

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 8.0%
Moderate concern 47.6%
Severe concern 44.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
