Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 1206-1210 Union Street in Russian Hill, owned by William Pacific Enterprises, was constructed in 1922 and contains three units. The building's maintenance history shows several significant improvements, including a furnace replacement in 2017, installation of four awnings in 1995, reroofing in 1993, and accessibility modifications in 1983. A notable concern emerged in April 2022 when a complaint was filed regarding a prolonged vacant storefront at 1210 Union Street, which had reportedly been empty for at least ten years.

The property has experienced numerous sanitation-related issues in recent years, particularly between 2020 and 2024, with multiple reports of overflowing city garbage cans and instances of trash dumping in the vicinity. Other municipal service calls include illegal postings, graffiti on mailboxes, and various street cleaning concerns, all of which have been resolved. In a recent positive development, Type 21 liquor licenses were approved for 1210 Union Street in 2022, allowing for off-sale general operations under the name Union & Hyde, with permitted hours from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. These licenses were granted through both the Board of Supervisors and ABC referrals. The building's overall record suggests regular municipal oversight and response to various maintenance and compliance issues, with recent efforts to activate the formerly vacant storefront space.

Risk rating

How 1206-1210 Union 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.
