Initial analysis

The 4-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 1212 Pacific Avenue in Nob Hill, owned by Louie Revocable Trust, was constructed in 1970 and has undergone several significant maintenance updates over the years. Most notably, the building received two reroofing projects, one completed in 2019 at a cost of $15,000 and an earlier one in 2002 for $6,200, indicating regular maintenance of basic infrastructure. The building experienced a period of fire safety violations in both 2000 and 2008, with the latter complaint involving multiple fire safety issues including the need for door closers at fire/smoke barrier doors, repairs to fire-resistant construction materials, and proper maintenance of fire extinguishers. All identified violations from both years were abated by August 21, 2008.

Recent attention to the building has primarily focused on waste management issues in the surrounding area, with multiple 311 calls between 2019 and 2024 regarding garbage and toter management, though these are external concerns rather than building-specific problems. The most recent building-related activity was a general cleaning complaint (about loose garbage) in February 2024, which was resolved. The property has maintained compliance with housing inspections since the 2008 violations, with no recent building complaints or violations on record.

Risk rating

How 1212 Pacific Ave'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
