Initial analysis

1125 Broadway is a 15-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Nob Hill neighborhood. Built in 1927 and currently owned by 1125 Broadway I7 Lp, the property has undergone significant interior renovation work over the past few years, with multiple units (including 102, 104, 105, 202, 203, and 305) receiving substantial remodeling including kitchen-to-bedroom conversions, bathroom rehabilitation, and laundry facility installations between 2019 and 2022. A major fire safety upgrade was completed in February 2024 with the installation of new low-frequency sounders in all sleeping areas to comply with SFFC requirements, at a cost of $31,000.

The building has a history of addressing various compliance issues, including completing its mandatory Soft Story Retrofit Program requirements (Tier 2) and obtaining a Certificate of Final Completion (CFC). While there were several building violations and complaints regarding seismic retrofit compliance in 2016-2017, these were ultimately resolved. Recent building inspections have focused on routine maintenance and safety compliance, including two fire extinguisher corrections in 2014 and 2019. The property has experienced some resident concerns during the 2020 health crisis regarding ongoing conversion projects, but these complaints were later marked as resolved. Recent exterior maintenance issues appear to have been minimal, with most 311 calls related to parking and street cleaning matters rather than building-specific concerns.

Risk rating

How 1125 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.
