Initial analysis

1160 Broadway is a two-unit residential building located in San Francisco's Russian Hill neighborhood, featuring two stories and constructed in 1909 under the Flats & Duplex classification. The property, currently owned by the Stephen & Mabel Yee Family Trust, has undergone minimal permitted improvements over the past decades, with records showing only two significant building permits: a bathroom remodeling project in 1993 that included the removal and replacement of fixtures, and a reroofing project in 2000, though both permits have since expired.

The building's external environment has experienced recurring urban maintenance issues between 2018 and 2024, with multiple reports of street cleaning needs. These include three documented instances of human or animal waste on public sidewalks (in 2019 and 2020), two graffiti incidents (one in 2017 on a signal box and another in 2021 described as offensive), and some instances of abandoned vehicles (in 2009, 2015, and 2016), all of which were resolved by city services. The most recent incident involved a parking enforcement action in October 2024, resulting in a citation for blocking a driveway, which was promptly resolved. While these incidents reflect typical urban challenges in the neighborhood, they primarily pertain to public space rather than the building itself, with no documented safety concerns or building violations in recent years.

Risk rating

How 1160 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.
