Initial analysis

The four-unit, four-story multi-family residential building located at 5-11 Edith Street in Telegraph Hill was built in 1913 and has undergone several significant renovations over the past decades. The most substantial recent work was completed in 2008-2009, involving a $75,000 renovation of two-level unit #9, which included comprehensive updates to multiple systems (mechanical, electrical, and plumbing), removal of an existing fireplace and related flues, modifications to skylights, and kitchen/bathroom remodeling. This unit improvement was part of broader building maintenance efforts that included 1998 roofing work, 1999 steel installations around the garage and building, and various electrical improvements.

The building experienced multiple routine housing inspections between 2001 and 2009, with significant clusters of violations noted in 2005 and 2007 related to fire safety and security. These violations, though now resolved, included issues with fire escape maintenance, egress obstructions, smoke detector compliance, and gas utility safety requirements. The property has maintained active electrical systems, with a 2007 permit for extensive electrical work, though this was ultimately cancelled. Recent history shows ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly in 2024, with multiple reports of sidewalk defects (two cases of collapsed sidewalk noted as open) and recurring garbage and debris issues near the property, though these are street-level concerns rather than building-specific problems. A parking-related incident was recorded in February 2023, but could not be substantiated, and there was one minor service-related fire incident with no civilian injuries noted in the records.

Risk rating

How 5-11 Edith 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
62th percentile

Out of 684 buildings in this neighborhood, 260 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

Number of floors

Building height affects maintenance complexity and is one of the size signals the model uses.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 72.3%
Moderate concern 11.7%
Severe concern 16.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
