Initial analysis

The Wong Family Trust owns this 11-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building located at 1054-1058 Pacific Avenue in Nob Hill, constructed in 1929. The building has experienced several significant safety and maintenance issues over the past two decades, with the most recent general maintenance complaint filed in April 2024, which was resolved by May 2024. There were multiple fire safety violations noted in 2017, including issues with exits/fire escapes, extinguishers, and non-conforming door hardware, though these were subsequently abated. The building has undergone regular safety inspections, with particular attention to fire escape maintenance and fire alarm systems. Two sidewalk repair permits were issued in 2001, though they are now expired.

In recent years, there has been a pattern of graffiti and debris issues affecting the building's exterior and surrounding areas. Between 2022 and 2024, there were multiple incidents of graffiti reported on the building, with the most recent cases occurring in October 2023, and several instances of garbage and debris requiring attention. The property has experienced four minor fire incidents on record, all of which were contained and resulted in no civilian injuries. While historical violations and complaints have been addressed through various abatement processes, including the 2016 annual inspection and routine safety inspections, the building continues to face periodic maintenance challenges as evidenced by recent complaints and 311 calls.

Risk rating

How 1054-1058 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

Out of 1125 buildings in this neighborhood, 855 are predicted to be safer.
