Initial analysis

The property at 1300-1304 Kearny St is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in Telegraph Hill, owned by Ziggy LLC and constructed in 1906. The building has undergone several significant improvements since 2017, including comprehensive kitchen renovations, electrical upgrades (installation of receptacles and lighting), furnace replacement, and storefront window and door updates, with investment totaling approximately $14,000 in 2017 alone. However, the building has experienced recurring issues that merit attention. Between 2019 and 2022, there were multiple violations related to an abandoned commercial storefront, resulting in notices of violation and potential penalties. A particularly concerning complaint in April 2020 reported water intrusion, lack of heat, safety concerns regarding stairs, and pest issues in one of the occupied units, though these were marked as abated by May 2020. Earlier history includes complaints about unauthorized basement rentals in 2002, along with some construction-related issues in 2017 regarding work beyond permitted scope and unpermitted modifications.

Recent maintenance patterns show regular attention to building systems, with the most significant recent issues being related to exterior conditions rather than the building's core systems. Between 2020 and 2024, there have been various 311 calls regarding street cleaning, parking issues, and graffiti, though these external matters don't directly reflect on the building's internal conditions. The property has experienced only one reported fire incident since records began, which was a false alarm with no injuries recorded. The building underwent substantial improvements in 2017 and has maintained active engagement with city permits and inspections, though the pattern of vacant storefront violations suggests ongoing challenges with the commercial portion of the property.

Risk rating

How 1300-1304 Kearny 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.
