Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1734-1736 Leavenworth Street in San Francisco's Russian Hill neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1933 and currently owned by the William & Shirley Lo Family. The property's maintenance record shows two significant improvements from the mid-1990s, including a reroofing project (Permit #9618223) completed in September 1996, and a window replacement initiative (Permit #9510214) from July 1995 where aluminum sliding windows were removed and replaced with vinyl double-hung windows; both these permits are now expired.

The building's incident history over the past several years is relatively minimal and primarily revolves around exterior and street-related issues rather than building-specific problems. The most recent incident was a parking enforcement call on June 28, 2024, which was closed when officers were unable to locate the reported violation. Prior to that, there was an incident of offensive graffiti reported on June 30, 2020, which was subsequently resolved by the Department of Public Works. The only other recorded incident was a street cleaning issue involving loose garbage on June 28, 2014, which was completed by DPW. The documented history suggests regular maintenance updates were performed in the 1990s, but there are no recorded building permits or major incidents in recent years, indicating either stable building conditions or potentially incomplete records of maintenance and improvements.

Risk rating

How 1734-1736 Leavenworth 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.
