Initial analysis

748-752 Broadway is a three-story, multi-family residential building with retail space, containing 5 units and constructed in 1907, currently owned by Sing & Yuen Properties LLC. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and safety-related events over the past decade, most notably from 2023-2024 when multiple fire safety issues were addressed, including blocked exits and extinguisher problems, though all were ultimately corrected by October 2024. The building has experienced recurring fire safety violations, with a pattern of issues related to extinguishers, alarms, and exit maintenance documented between 2019 and 2024, including a violation for fire extinguishers maintenance issued in July 2023. Three roof replacements have been documented: in 1992, 1994, and 2010, with a cost of $8,400.

The property has faced various maintenance challenges, including a stairway repair project in 2000 due to dry rot, and recent activity indicates ongoing issues with garbage and debris accumulation around the property, as evidenced by numerous 311 calls regarding street cleaning between September and December 2024. A vacant storefront complaint was filed in December 2018, and there appears to be recent activity regarding parking enforcement in the vicinity, with multiple illegal parking reports in late 2024. The building's recent history shows a pattern of fire safety concerns that have required attention, though records indicate that most of these issues have been resolved or were found to have no merit upon investigation.

Risk rating

How 748-752 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

Out of 362 buildings in this neighborhood, 134 are predicted to be safer.
