Initial analysis

The two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 1244-1246 Pacific Avenue in Nob Hill, owned by the Ursula Haas Trust, was constructed in 1923 and has undergone several notable maintenance and infrastructure updates over the years. The most significant recent work was a complete re-roofing project completed in December 2016 at a cost of $11,700. The building's electrical system received substantial attention between 2004 and 2006, including the installation of a new 125A 240V electrical service, though some permit renewals from this period show as expired. A street space permit was issued in 2017, though the minimal cost suggests this was likely for routine maintenance or temporary use.

The property has experienced various street-level issues documented through 311 calls, primarily related to sidewalk and street conditions. Between 2014 and 2020, there were reports of a damaged side sewer vent cover, pavement defects, and street cleaning needs, including incidents of human or animal waste and general cleaning issues in 2020. A blocked sidewalk incident involving merchandise display was reported in 2016, though this was administratively closed. Notably, there have been no fire incidents reported at this address, and no civilian injuries have been documented in emergency response records. While the building has maintained compliance through various permits and inspections, the presence of multiple expired permits from 2004-2006 may warrant verification of historical compliance status.

Risk rating

How 1244-1246 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.
