Initial analysis

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 1120-1124 Pacific Avenue in Nob Hill, owned by the Kit Wu Chow Hom Trust, has undergone several significant renovations since its construction in 1902. Most notably, in 2020, the building received substantial exterior improvements including the replacement of eight street-facing windows with Marvin fiberglass windows, along with stucco, plywood, and siding work on the front facade, representing a $35,000 investment (with subsequent revisions totaling $12,000). This followed a previous window replacement project in 2010 costing $12,750. The building's maintenance history includes the replacement of a broken house trap in 2017 and multiple sidewalk repair permits in 2007, though street space permits were also issued in 2007 and 2020 with no associated costs.

The property has experienced some maintenance challenges in its surroundings, with multiple 311 calls between 2019 and 2025 regarding sidewalk cleaning, garbage, and debris issues. These incidents were generally resolved by the appropriate city services, though they suggest ongoing environmental maintenance needs in the immediate vicinity. A significant complaint was registered in 2002 regarding the improper use of a former sewing factory on the property as a seafood storage location, resulting in noise and delivery truck issues, though this was promptly abated. The building's recent history shows no active violations or complaints, and all major renovation work has been properly permitted and completed, indicating regular maintenance and improvement of the property by its current ownership.

Risk rating

How 1120-1124 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.

Neighborhood percentile
92th percentile

Out of 1125 buildings in this neighborhood, 90 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Building age

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

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Notices of Violation, owner's portfolio

DBI NOVs across all buildings this owner is registered on — a signal of systemic maintenance issues across the portfolio.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 76.8%
Moderate concern 17.0%
Severe concern 6.3%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
