Initial analysis

1324 Broadway is a 12-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building located in Russian Hill, built in 1924 and currently owned by Ollagnier Lp A California L. The property has undergone several significant safety upgrades in recent years, including a fire alarm system upgrade in January 2023 to comply with San Francisco Fire Code requirements, and a comprehensive soft-story retrofit completed in 2014 using FEMA P807 funding to enhance seismic safety. The building's maintenance and infrastructure have also been addressed, with new water heaters installed in late 2022, window replacements completed in 2006, and various electrical and plumbing system upgrades over the years.

The property has experienced periodic maintenance issues and tenant concerns, with some notable incidents in recent years including water damage and possible mold issues reported in 2011, multiple boiler permit renewal requirements between 2015-2021, and several graffiti incidents on and near the property in 2023-2024. The building had a cluster of violations in 2001 relating to fire safety and lead paint concerns, including problems with smoke enclosure doors, fire escape ladder maintenance, and egress obstructions, though all were officially abated by October 31, 2001. Most recent fire safety inspections have shown ongoing attention to alarm system maintenance, with a violation issued in January 2024 that was subsequently abated. The building's owners have generally completed required repairs and upgrades, as evidenced by the numerous "Complete" and "Abated" status designations on work permits and violations, though some older permits and violations from the 1990s and early 2000s have either expired or are no longer active.

Risk rating

How 1324 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
