Initial analysis

This three-story mixed-use building at 1562-1570 Stockton Street in Telegraph Hill, owned by DS Stockton St LLC, was constructed in 1907 and contains 6 residential units plus commercial space. The property has undergone various significant improvements and faced multiple challenges over the years. Most recently, there have been concerning safety issues reported in May 2024 regarding illegal kitchen access and dining layout, with multiple complaints about potentially hazardous conditions near the kitchen entrance. In 2023-2024, parklet improvements were implemented with electrical work for heaters and lighting. The building underwent substantial electrical upgrades in 2009, including a 400-amp service installation for residential and commercial spaces, and various kitchen and bathroom renovations have been completed over the years.

The property has a history of plumbing and fire safety concerns, with notable incidents in 2004-2006 involving leaks, unpermitted plumbing work, and grease trap issues that affected neighboring properties. Fire safety systems were updated in 2013 with a new panel and detectors, and multiple fire-related complaints have been documented, including a violation for hazardous materials storage in 2021. Recent 311 calls from late 2024 and early 2025 indicate ongoing issues with blocked sidewalks and other maintenance matters outside the building. While many historical violations have been abated, the recent complaints about kitchen access and dining layout suggest potential ongoing safety and compliance issues. The property also pursued (though ultimately withdrew) a proposal in 2022 to add live entertainment to the restaurant space under the North Beach NCD regulations.

Risk rating

How 1562-1570 Stockton 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, 602 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.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.

Building age

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 47.4%
Moderate concern 15.6%
Severe concern 37.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
