Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1944 Taylor Street in Russian Hill, currently owned by the David Dung Survivors Trust, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1926. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past decades, with the most recent major work completed in 2017, involving the replacement of forced air furnaces and installation of new water heaters. Other notable maintenance included a complete reroofing project in 2011 costing $12,000, and the replacement of the building's exterior siding on two sides in 2011 (though this permit ultimately expired). The building's infrastructure has seen necessary updates, including a sewer main pipe replacement in 2012 and the installation of a garage door in 2008, along with window upgrades in 1989 involving 34 aluminum windows.

Recent activity around the property has primarily been related to parking and street maintenance issues. There have been multiple parking-related complaints between 2019 and 2025, including illegal parking and driveway blocking incidents, with varying levels of enforcement response. Street cleaning matters were addressed in 2021-2022, and there were two requests for tree maintenance related to overgrown trees in 2020. A curb defect was reported and resolved in 2017. The building's maintenance history suggests regular upkeep of essential systems, with no recorded violations or safety concerns that would significantly impact resident experience.

Risk rating

How 1944 Taylor 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
