Initial analysis

The property at 1119-1121 Kearny Street in Telegraph Hill is a 2-story, 3-unit multi-family residential building built in 1906, currently owned by Mar Family Partnership LP. The building underwent significant improvements in 2015-2016, including comprehensive kitchen and bathroom remodels, electrical rewiring, plumbing upgrades, and foundation work. Notable construction activity includes a $30,000 emergency work permit in 2009 for Unreinforced Masonry Building (UMB) remediation, and several related permits for repairs and improvements totaling over $100,000 in 2015. The building has experienced multiple fire safety violations from 2019-2023, primarily related to alarm systems and sprinklers, though most were promptly corrected or abated. There were also some building permit compliance issues in 2013-2015, including a violation for work without permit in April 2015 and an expired UMB permit, though these were later resolved.

Recent 311 calls from late 2024 indicate ongoing neighborhood maintenance issues, including reports of garbage, debris, and encampments in the vicinity, though these concerns do not directly relate to the building's condition or safety. The property has a history of routine fire alarm system activations and false alarms, with no reported civilian injuries from any incidents. The building appears to have received significant investment in safety upgrades and modernization, particularly during the 2015-2016 renovation period, with work conducted to bring the property into compliance with current building codes. Regular maintenance and inspection records suggest ongoing attention to building systems, though the frequency of fire safety violations in recent years indicates some challenges in maintaining regulatory compliance.

Risk rating

How 1119-1121 Kearny 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
58th percentile

Out of 684 buildings in this neighborhood, 287 are predicted to be safer.
