Initial analysis

The 1274-1276 Broadway property is a three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Russian Hill neighborhood, owned by Lee Young, and constructed in 1911. The building's maintenance record shows some significant attention to infrastructure, with a completed reroofing project in 2017 costing $7,880, and a water heater replacement project initiated in June 2017, though this permit is now expired. The property has undergone several routine housing inspections over the years, with notable findings in 2014 including violations related to interior surface paint (including lead hazard concerns), overgrown vegetation, and stair repairs. These issues, along with some plumbing and electrical violations noted in a 2008 inspection and various other compliance concerns from 2001-2008, were all marked as not active, suggesting they were addressed at the time.

Recent activity at the property has been primarily related to parking enforcement, with multiple reports of driveway blocking incidents recorded between July and October 2024, showing a particularly high frequency of such violations in the summer and fall of 2024. The parking enforcement records indicate that citations were issued in several cases, though some complaints could not be validated or the offending vehicles were no longer present when officers arrived. While these parking issues are not directly related to the building's condition or habitability, they represent a significant recent pattern of enforcement activity in the immediate vicinity of the property.

Risk rating

How 1274-1276 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.
