Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 1335-1343 Powell Street in Nob Hill, built in 1925, contains 6 units and is currently owned by Denny Lee and Mary Yee. The building's maintenance history reveals several significant repairs and improvements over the past few decades, including stair repairs in 2002 and 2011, reroofing work in 2005, and various plumbing and electrical upgrades. Notably, in June 2002, the building underwent a routine inspection that revealed multiple violations related to fire safety, security, and sanitation issues, including problems with fire escape ladders, smoke enclosure doors, fire extinguishers, and electrical systems; all these violations were successfully abated by October 21, 2002.

Recently, there have been two active complaints regarding nighttime light disturbance (October 2023) related to the Taishan Taste restaurant's signage, which is currently under review by the Code Enforcement Section. The building's exterior and surrounding area have experienced periodic maintenance challenges, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls between 2016 and 2024 regarding graffiti, waste removal, and sewer issues, though these were generally resolved promptly. The property has also taken steps to maintain its commercial components, as shown by recent permits to legalize an awning and signage for Taishan Taste (2024). Historical records indicate that the property has been properly maintained through regular inspections and repairs, with the most recent significant permit activity focusing on commercial space improvements.

Risk rating

How 1335-1343 Powell St'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.
