Initial analysis

The two-unit mixed-use building at 462-464 Broadway in Telegraph Hill, owned by Gary W. Chan and Jade Yan Yu W, has a complex history dating back to its 1907 construction. The property experienced a significant fire incident in May 2007, which resulted in over $30,000 in damage and required several repairs, including fire suppression system upgrades and electrical work to address safety concerns. Multiple building permits from the late 1990s through 2000 indicate various renovations, including kitchen hood installations, entryway modifications, and foundation repairs. The building has faced several maintenance challenges, with records from 2012-2015 documenting concerns about exterior maintenance and potential lead paint issues, though these were ultimately resolved.

Recent years show ongoing safety and accessibility concerns in the vicinity, particularly regarding blocked sidewalks by scooters, with multiple reports between 2024-2025. The property has undergone several fire safety inspections, with violations noted in 2006 and 2009 regarding fire alarm systems and extinguisher requirements, though these were subsequently corrected. Planning records indicate a history of restaurant use on the premises, with conditions on operations and maintenance that appear to have been addressed. The building's electrical systems were the subject of a 2013 inspection that revealed multiple safety concerns, which were presumably resolved, though the permit status is listed as expired. While many historical violations and complaints have been resolved, the cumulative record suggests a building that has required ongoing attention to both safety systems and general maintenance throughout its history.

Risk rating

How 462-464 Broadway'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
