Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1175-1177 Broadway in Nob Hill, owned by the Lara Leigh Lum Living Trust, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1908. The property has undergone significant improvements over the past 12 years, with major renovations completed in 2012 including a basement excavation and construction of accessory rooms, installation of a new half bath and laundry area (costing $150,000), kitchen and bathroom remodels, new built-in cabinetry, skylights, and fire-rated windows installation (costing $75,000). The 2012 upgrades also encompassed a 200-amp electrical upgrade with extensive new circuitry and lighting, plumbing improvements including bathroom additions and kitchen remodeling, and the construction of a one-hour fire-rated parapet.

The building has a history of maintenance and safety improvements, including foundation work in 2002 with mudsill and shearwall strengthening, reroofing (2002), and repairs to dry rot and stairs in the 1990s. Recent records from late 2024 show multiple parking enforcement calls related to blocked driveways, with a mix of resolved cases, citations issued, and invalid complaints, suggesting ongoing challenges with parking management around the property. While these parking issues are notable, they primarily relate to street management rather than building infrastructure.

Risk rating

How 1175-1177 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, 270 are predicted to be safer.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.
