Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 1331-1335 Kearny Street, located in Telegraph Hill, was constructed in 1906 and consists of 4 units, currently owned by the Junius/brockett Living Trust. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade, with the most recent major works including a 200-amp electrical panel upgrade in December 2020 and rear deck repairs in 2019. Earlier improvements from 2012 included window replacements, roof work, and structural modifications on the third floor involving bearing wall removal and beam installation. The building had a routine housing inspection in May 2007 that identified multiple safety-related violations, including the need for smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, security viewers for entry doors, and gas meter instructional diagrams; however, all these violations were resolved by June 26, 2007.

More recent maintenance records show attention to basic infrastructure, with plumbing work including a gas line installation for a stove in 2020 and hydronic heating system updates in 2012. The property has experienced minimal recent issues, with only the most recent 311 calls involving graffiti on the sidewalk (2022), an illegal parking incident (2020), and an overgrown tree (2018) being reported. Historical data shows various general cleaning calls between 2010-2012, but these appear to be routine maintenance matters. The building's permit history suggests regular upkeep and modernization efforts by the current ownership, with no active violations or significant safety concerns noted in recent years.

Risk rating

How 1331-1335 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

Out of 684 buildings in this neighborhood, 301 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 48.7%
Moderate concern 9.1%
Severe concern 42.1%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
