Initial analysis

1725 Taylor Street is a 20-unit, 6-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Russian Hill neighborhood, constructed in 1963 and currently owned by Aldema Inv Corp Of Florida. The property has undergone numerous renovations over the years, with the most recent significant work in 2024 including a substantial $55,000 renovation of Unit 1A featuring new kitchen and bathroom fixtures, tiles, and electrical work. Prior building improvements include a completed reroofing project ($49,700) in 2024, several unit renovations in 2009-2010 (Units 3C, 3D, 5C, and 5D), and notable infrastructure upgrades including a new domestic hot water boiler installation and floor sink in 2020. The building has faced several maintenance and safety challenges, particularly in 2005 with multiple violations related to egress, lighting, and water issues in the parking garage, though these were marked as abated by July 2005. More recently, the building has experienced recurring fire safety system violations in 2023-2024, including open violations for sleeping area requirements and multiple sprinkler system compliance issues as of December 2023. The property has undergone routine safety inspections in 2010 and 2016, and there have been various maintenance issues documented through 311 calls, including illegal parking incidents and graffiti, though these are not directly related to building safety or habitability.

The building's maintenance history shows regular updating of individual units over time, with multiple apartments receiving kitchen and bathroom renovations, though some permits from the 2008-2009 period are noted as expired or cancelled. Infrastructure improvements have included the installation of new fire sprinklers in 2008, though the property has experienced recurring issues with its fire safety systems, as evidenced by multiple fire complaints and violations over the years, most recently in December 2023. The building's history includes several concerning incidents between 2007-2010, including sewage backups in the elevator shaft, water leaks, and safety inspection findings related to egress lighting and security, though these issues appear to have been addressed according to available records. Recent building permits and improvements indicate ongoing maintenance and upgrading of the property, though the current open fire safety violations suggest attention is still required in this area.

Risk rating

How 1725 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.

Neighborhood percentile
3th percentile

Out of 1133 buildings in this neighborhood, 1099 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 size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 6.6%
Moderate concern 67.6%
Severe concern 25.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
