Initial analysis

The three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building at 387-397 Union Street in Telegraph Hill, owned by Healy Family Trust, was constructed in 1910 and has undergone several significant improvements over its lifetime. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story seismic retrofit in 2016-2017 (per SFBC Ordinance 66-13) with associated structural modifications, including a middle steel frame relocation, and received its Certificate of Final Completion (CFC). In early 2017, the building underwent essential infrastructure improvements, including a sewer line and house trap replacement. Historical records show previous maintenance work including reroofing in 2003 and window installation in 1992, though some permits from the 1990s show as expired.

The building has received regular oversight from housing inspectors, with a notable routine inspection in 2005 revealing multiple safety concerns that were subsequently addressed, including fire escape maintenance, security upgrades, and fire safety equipment installations - all of which were abated by June 2005. More recent activity includes some 311 calls regarding neighborhood issues, such as parking violations and street maintenance, though these are external to the building itself. The only recorded fire-related incident was a CO detector activation with no actual carbon monoxide present. The building's soft-story retrofit was classified under Tier 3 and is marked as complete with CFC issued, demonstrating compliance with current seismic safety requirements.

Risk rating

How 387-397 Union 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
