Initial analysis

1310 Montgomery Street is a three-unit multi-family residential building located in Telegraph Hill, constructed in 1890 and currently owned by the Norman J Laboe Revocable Trust. The property has undergone several significant improvements over recent years, most notably the current major project (as of November 2023) involving the installation of a new elevator from the garage level to the third floor, widening of the west garage door for improved parking access, and creation of a new ground floor lobby, with an associated cost of $250,000. This elevator installation follows previous attempts in 2021 and 2015 to add similar accessibility features, indicating a continued commitment to improving accessibility for residents.

The building has seen substantial bathroom renovations in 2022, with multiple permits issued for updates to both first and second-floor bathrooms, including the installation of larger showers, wall-mounted toilets, and modern fixtures. These improvements were accompanied by necessary plumbing and electrical work, including the installation of floor heating systems and related electrical circuits. Recent infrastructure updates include gas houseline extension work and PG&E meter relocation completed in October 2023. The property has also experienced recurring issues with illegal parking and driveway blocking, with multiple enforcement cases recorded between 2019 and 2024, suggesting ongoing challenges with street and garage access. While there was one recorded fire incident related to a malfunctioning smoke detector, there were no civilian injuries reported. The building's owners have actively pursued improvements to address both accessibility and modernization needs, as evidenced by the various permits and completed projects over the years.

Risk rating

How 1310 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
