Initial analysis

1023 Broadway is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Nob Hill neighborhood, constructed in 1908. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past several years, with the most recent major renovation occurring in July 2023 involving a substantial $82,575 project to relocate a kitchen, remodel bathrooms, and upgrade electrical panels. In 2019-2021, the building faced serious problems including water damage, roof leaks, and plumbing issues, with multiple complaints filed regarding these conditions. Earlier structural concerns were documented in 2018 when foundation cracks and spacing issues were reported at the northeast corner, though these violations were abated by October 2018. The building has undergone various repairs over the years, including addressing dry rot on balconies and stairs in 2009, and a 2024 permit has been issued for additional plumbing and electrical work.

The property has had several housing code violations related to lead paint hazards, interior surface maintenance, and mold/mildew issues, particularly in 2019. A range of exterior and structural concerns have been documented through 311 calls and housing complaints, including issues with building maintenance, weatherproofing, and balcony safety. While some of these violations and complaints have been resolved, the building's maintenance history shows recurring problems that suggest ongoing challenges with upkeep. Recently, in late 2024, both plumbing and electrical permits have been issued for further improvements to the property, indicating active maintenance and upgrading efforts by the current ownership. The building's history includes regular municipal service calls for various issues, most recently regarding garbage, debris, and other routine urban maintenance matters.

Risk rating

How 1023 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.
