Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 1267-1273 Union Street in Russian Hill, owned by Bruce Marcucci, was constructed in 1908 and contains 4 units. The property has undergone several significant renovations and repairs over the past two decades, most notably recent construction work as of June 2024 involving repairs to a 10' x 10' wall, siding replacement, interior plaster work, and carpentry in unit 1269, costing $10,000. In 2017, important safety improvements were made to the common areas, including the back stairs, with the replacement of decaying wood railings and guardrails ($5,000). The building has also seen substantial unit-specific improvements, including kitchen and bathroom remodels in 2001 ($32,500) and 2005 ($40,000).

The property has experienced two notable routine inspections that revealed safety concerns: in 2001, issues were found regarding common area egress, fire safety, and building permits, and in 2016-2017, violations were documented related to smoke detectors, carbon monoxide alarms, combustible storage, and fire extinguishers, though all these violations were officially abated. A short-term rental violation was also documented and resolved in 2021. Recent maintenance issues have included a sewage backup in November 2023, and there have been multiple reports of abandoned vehicles and debris on or near the property, with the most recent 311 calls in 2024. The building's systems appear to have undergone regular updates, with gas fireplace installations and various plumbing and electrical improvements documented between 2001 and 2018. Two smoke-related incidents were recorded, but both were false alarms with no injuries reported.

Risk rating

How 1267-1273 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

Out of 1133 buildings in this neighborhood, 646 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.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

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 39.1%
Moderate concern 16.0%
Severe concern 44.9%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
