Initial analysis

The property at 1812-1814 Taylor Street in San Francisco's Russian Hill neighborhood is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1930, currently owned by the Henry & Shui Lee Revocable Trust. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades, with the most recent major work occurring in 2014 when both units received window upgrades, totaling $27,000 in improvements. In 2001 and 2007, there were proposals to add a third unit with garage modifications, but these permits were ultimately cancelled. Earlier renovations included kitchen and bathroom remodeling in 1998 ($16,000) and a reroofing project in 2006 ($7,450).

The building has experienced some maintenance issues, most notably in 2012 when a complaint was filed regarding peeling stucco/paint that required weather-proofing repairs and resulted in lead paint safety notifications. These violations were abated by August 2012. The property has no recorded fire incidents related to civilian injuries, though there was a HazMat investigation with no findings. Recent activity at the property has primarily consisted of external maintenance and neighborhood issues, including reports of graffiti (most recently in 2023), sidewalk cleaning needs, and a parking violation in 2020. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, with significant investments in improving the property's infrastructure and living conditions over the years, although some proposed expansions were not completed.

Risk rating

How 1812-1814 Taylor 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.
