Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 1180 Broadway in Russian Hill, owned by Lee Stanley and Helen Revoc T, was constructed in 1968 and contains two units above a garage. The property has experienced several significant issues over the years, with the most serious and recent concerns emerging in late 2022. An active building violation filed in December 2022 alleges multiple life safety hazards, including unapproved plumbing and electrical work, unauthorized kitchen modifications, improper occupancy classifications, and questions about fire-resistant materials and occupancy separation between the garage and habitable spaces. These violations have been categorized as a nuisance related to improper occupancy. The building has also undergone some maintenance work, including the replacement of rotten wood siding in 2019 at a cost of $6,000.

Earlier complaints about the building include reports of heavy construction work without proper permits in 2015, which was promptly investigated, and a sewer overflow incident in 2000 that was resolved within two months. The property has generated multiple 311 calls between 2016 and 2022, primarily related to abandoned vehicles on the street outside the building, though these external issues have generally been resolved quickly. While the building's history shows regular maintenance activities and compliance efforts typical for its age and usage, the recent violation notice filed in 2022 represents the most significant cluster of potential safety and code compliance issues on record.

Risk rating

How 1180 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.
