Initial analysis

The 15-unit apartment building at 1711 Leavenworth Street in Russian Hill, owned by Woo Family Trust, is a three-story structure built in 1916. The building has undergone several significant safety upgrades in recent years, with the most recent being a fire alarm system upgrade completed in December 2024 at a cost of $28,800, which included the installation of 18 low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas. Unit #5 has received substantial interior improvements in 2024, including a kitchen remodel, bathroom updates, and shower installation, with work completed in September 2024 costing approximately $46,000.

The building's history shows a focus on resolving maintenance and safety issues, particularly regarding the fire alarm system, which has required multiple upgrades and modifications. Several fire-related violations were recorded in 2017 and 2019 but have been abated, and the building has experienced occasional false fire alarm activations due to system malfunctions. A cluster of violations was documented in 2003 related to egress obstruction, alarm panel certification, fire escape maintenance, and damaged ceilings, all of which were resolved by August 2003. More recently, multiple 311 calls between 2020 and 2024 have reported various sidewalk issues near the property, including garbage, debris, and waste, though these are external to the building itself.

Risk rating

How 1711 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.

DBI Complaint May 18
Date last observed: 17-may-26; exact location: main bldg; building type: residence/dwelling leaking ceiling; other housing; ; additional information: i am requesting a housing inspection for severe and ongoing habitability issues at 1711 leavenworth st #11, san francisco, ca 94109. for approximately 18 months, i have experienced persistent excessive noise from a neighboring unit (loud musical instruments about 7¿8 hours daily, often into late hours). the noise is inescapable in my studio and prevents normal sleep, work, and use of the unit. the issue is significantly worsened by inadequate wall construction and sound insulation between units. a prior attempt by management to address the wall issue was ineffective and may have worsened sound transmission. despite repeated written complaints, no effective repairs or remediation have been made. i have documented the issue with recordings, written complaints, and approximately 38 police dispatches. i am requesting inspection
