Initial analysis

1328 Vallejo Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Russian Hill neighborhood, owned by Joe and Pearl Joe Living Trust. Built in 1914, this property has undergone several significant renovations and faced various maintenance challenges over its history. The most recent major development is an ongoing project, initiated in January 2024, to convert a storage area in the garage/basement into a recreation room with bathroom and bar facilities, with associated plumbing and electrical work currently permitted and underway with an estimated cost of $107,756. This project is expected to enhance the building's common area amenities substantially.

The building has a documented history of various improvements and necessary repairs, including foundation repairs and garage reconstruction in 1993, kitchen renovations in 2000, and the installation of new tankless water heaters in 2022. A notable incident occurred in 1988 when the building experienced fire damage requiring repairs, though this was successfully addressed. In 2022, there was a violation related to unpermitted water heater installations, which was abated in June 2023, showing the building's compliance with proper permitting processes. The property's maintenance history includes regular updates to essential systems, such as HVAC (furnace replacement in 2008) and water service improvements (2011), though there have been some infrastructure challenges noted through 311 calls, including water leaks and minor street maintenance issues. The building's upkeep record demonstrates typical aging building maintenance needs, with the owners actively addressing repairs and improvements over time, as evidenced by the current major renovation project.

Risk rating

How 1328-1330 Vallejo 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.
