Initial analysis

The three-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 1165-1169 Broadway in Nob Hill, owned by Karen Loane, was constructed in 1907 and has experienced several significant maintenance and safety-related events over the past two decades. Most notably, in 2011, a routine housing inspection resulted in multiple violations concerning egress obstructions, lack of self-closing doors, and other safety concerns, which were abated by November 2011. The building underwent a furnace replacement in 2012, and in 2006, repairs were made to 40% of the existing rear stair. Recent maintenance history includes a mechanical equipment noise complaint from December 2023, which was deemed invalid by authorities, and three street space permits issued in 2013. The property has also been subject to multiple abandoned vehicle reports in the surrounding area between 2014 and 2023, though these are external to the building itself. Historical complaints from 2007 indicate more serious issues at that time, including inadequate heat, safety concerns with kitchen doors, gas pipes, and roof access, though these problems appear to have been addressed by March 2007. The building's permit history shows regular maintenance and some infrastructure work, including street space permits with varying costs.

Risk rating

How 1165-1169 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.
