Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1168-1170 Broadway in San Francisco's Russian Hill neighborhood is a 2-story flats and duplex structure built in 1909, currently owned by the Fun Yuet Wong Trust. The building has undergone several maintenance updates over the years, including a reroofing project in 2003 costing $2,800 and a significant repair to address dry rot in the rear stairway treads, risers, and railing in 2000. A serious plumbing incident occurred in late 2000 when sewage problems affected both this building and the neighboring property at 1172 Broadway, though this issue was eventually resolved in January 2001.

In recent years, the property has experienced a number of maintenance and infrastructure issues, including a missing side sewer vent cover in March 2021, which was promptly addressed. The building's surroundings have faced recurring urban challenges, as evidenced by multiple reports of abandoned vehicles in 2016-2017, though all of these were resolved relatively quickly, primarily through vehicle removal or the vehicles having departed before inspection. More recently, there have been two documented incidents of graffiti in 2022 and 2024, both of which were addressed by city services through removal or painting. The property appears to be generally maintained, with most issues being promptly reported and resolved through appropriate city services.

Risk rating

How 1168-1170 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 1133 buildings in this neighborhood, 363 are predicted to be safer.
