Initial analysis

The property at 1183-1185 Broadway is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Nob Hill neighborhood. Built in 1906 and currently owned by Herman K & Joyce A Woo Revo, this flats and duplex-style building has undergone several maintenance updates over the years. Most notably, in 2006, the building received substantial improvements including a $7,500 reroofing project and the installation of six energy-efficient vinyl windows with a U-Factor of 0.30, all properly configured to meet safety codes including bedroom rescue requirements.

The building has experienced some recent issues with parking enforcement, with three documented cases of driveway blocking between August 2023 and October 2024, though in each instance, responding officers were unable to locate the offending vehicles. There were also two reports of loose garbage on or near the property in 2020 and 2022, which were promptly addressed by city services. Of particular note is a significant incident from 2017 involving illegal short-term rentals, which was reported and subsequently abated; this situation involved unauthorized Airbnb rentals of a studio in one bedroom, allegedly operated by a prior or current lessee under the name Ericka James, and prompted official action requiring the removal of the listing and cancellation of pending reservations.

Risk rating

How 1183-1185 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

Out of 1125 buildings in this neighborhood, 191 are predicted to be safer.
