Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1220-1222 Broadway in Russian Hill, owned by Jason Samuel Wong Sep Ppty, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1958. Most notably, in 2019, the property underwent substantial window upgrades including the installation of Marvin aluminum clad wood windows on the street-facing facade, with associated work on window trims and wall modifications, totaling approximately $16,000 in improvements. Prior to this, in 2015, a complete reroofing project was completed at a cost of $8,500. The building's history also includes approved planning records for more extensive development proposals, including plans for a third dwelling unit and construction of a new rear building fronting on Waldo Alley, though these projects have not been implemented as of the latest records.

The property has experienced minimal maintenance issues over the years, with only one significant infrastructure concern reported in 2021 regarding exposed electrical wires in a street pullbox, which was promptly resolved. While there have been multiple reports of abandoned vehicles in the vicinity between 2010 and 2022, none of these incidents directly impacted the property or its residents. The building's recent history shows regular maintenance and upgrading of exterior features, with no reported safety concerns or significant resident quality of life issues. The most recent building permits on file from 2019 suggest active property management and commitment to maintaining the building's facade and windows.

Risk rating

How 1220-1222 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
81th percentile

Out of 1133 buildings in this neighborhood, 215 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 77.8%
Moderate concern 12.4%
Severe concern 9.8%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
