Initial analysis

The three-story, six-unit residential building at 1340-1346 Kearny Street in Telegraph Hill, owned by SS 1340 Kearny LLC, has a construction history dating back to 1916 and has undergone several significant maintenance and compliance events over the years. Most notably, the building was identified as part of San Francisco's mandatory Soft Story Retrofit Program in 2017, resulting in violations for failure to submit required seismic retrofit plans, though these violations were eventually abated by December 2019. The property has seen various maintenance work, including a 2014 electrical upgrade involving the installation of new metering equipment and panels, and previously historical repairs such as a 1984 exterior wall treatment and a 1993 reroofing project. Routine housing inspections have been conducted regularly from 2001 through 2006, and there was a fire escape ladder maintenance violation noted in 2006 that was subsequently resolved. The building's most recent record shows a 2022 report of an abandoned vehicle near the property, which was handled by the Department of Public Transportation. While the property has had recurring inspection and maintenance requirements typical of its age and type, there have been no recent significant violations or safety concerns directly affecting the building itself since the resolution of the Soft Story Retrofit compliance issue in 2019.

Risk rating

How 1340-1346 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.
