Initial analysis

The property at 1305-1307 Montgomery Street is a 3-story, 4-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1900 and located in Telegraph Hill. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades, with the most recent major renovations occurring in 2018, including a complete electrical rewiring, bathroom and kitchen remodeling ($36,000), window replacements, and plumbing upgrades. Prior improvements include comprehensive window upgrades in 2011-2012, with multiple permits issued for window replacements, some visible from the street and others on the building's back side. The building has received regular maintenance attention, including reroofing work completed in 2012 ($33,000).

A notable cluster of building violations was recorded in April 2005, primarily related to safety concerns including smoke detector issues, emergency exits, and wood stair repairs, though all these violations were promptly abated by May 2005. The property has a history of routine housing inspections in 1999, 2005, and 2010, all of which were resolved. More recently, there was a sewage backup issue reported in August 2023, which was promptly addressed and resolved. While several 311 calls regarding the surrounding area have been logged between 2015-2023, including reports of abandoned vehicles, graffiti, and street defects, these issues were external to the building itself. A 2023 planning record indicates a withdrawn permit application for window replacements on Montgomery and School Streets, though this was likely moot given the previous window upgrades completed in 2011-2012.

Risk rating

How 1305-1307 Montgomery 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
36th percentile

Out of 684 buildings in this neighborhood, 438 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.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 59.0%
Moderate concern 11.8%
Severe concern 29.3%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
