Initial analysis

The Telegraph Hill multi-family residential building at 1339-1343 Kearny Street, owned by Norman C & Janet P Family, is a 3-story, 5-unit flats structure built in 1913. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, with significant work including reroofing projects completed in 2011 (cost: $1), 2001 ($4,300), and 1992. In 2001, the building suffered damage to the third floor at the north property line wall and roof due to a fire from an adjacent building, though this was repaired and abated by September 2001. A routine housing inspection in April 2006 identified several safety issues that were subsequently addressed, including the need for gas shutoff tools, gas meter instructional diagrams, and fire extinguisher recharges, all of which were resolved by May 2006. The building has received regular maintenance attention, with significant interior improvements made in 2001 including updates to bedrooms, kitchen, and hallway work with insulation and sheet rock (cost: $15,000).

More recent history shows minimal building-specific issues, with three 311 calls regarding general street cleaning in the surrounding area between 2011 and 2019, though these relate to sidewalk conditions rather than building maintenance. The property's documented history suggests a pattern of prompt attention to maintenance and safety issues when they arise, with no active violations or complaints on record as of October 2023. The most recent building permit activity concerns street space usage from August 2011, and no significant structural or safety incidents have been reported in recent years, indicating stable building conditions under current ownership.

Risk rating

How 1339-1343 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.

Neighborhood percentile
