Initial analysis

The Mirkovich Family Trust owns this three-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located at 1240 Broadway in the Russian Hill neighborhood. Built in 1900, this flats and duplex-style property has experienced relatively few major structural changes, with the only recorded building permit being for reroofing work completed in 1993. The building's history over the past few years has been marked more by environmental and maintenance issues than by any significant building-related incidents.

Recent concerns primarily revolve around urban maintenance matters, with the most pressing current issue being an open case from June 2023 involving tree roots lifting the sidewalk. The property has experienced recurring issues with street cleaning and garbage, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls regarding loose garbage and furniture dumping in 2022, 2023, and 2024. There is also a documented history of street trees affecting the property, with cases in 2021 and 2023 noting damage to windows and the building, though officials have indicated these do not present immediate safety concerns. Several reports of abandoned vehicles near the property were logged in 2023, though each vehicle was gone upon inspection. The building's immediate vicinity has experienced ongoing challenges with street maintenance and public space upkeep, with multiple agencies including Recology and DPW Operations being called to address various neighborhood service issues over the past two years.

Risk rating

How 1240 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

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 age

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

Building size

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 44.7%
Moderate concern 16.6%
Severe concern 38.7%
