Initial analysis

The two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 874-876 Pacific Avenue in Nob Hill, owned by the Richard K Lum Revoc Trust, was constructed in 1912 and includes a commercial space. The property has undergone several maintenance and compliance updates in recent years, including a $7,000 stair repair project in 2021 and a $500 ADA compliance upgrade for doorbell and signage in 2022. The building's recent history has been marked by significant street-level challenges, with multiple 311 reports in late 2023 and 2024 documenting issues such as graffiti (both resolved and ongoing cases), human/animal waste, and garbage debris on public property. These external maintenance concerns have been persistent, particularly in late 2023 and throughout 2024.

The building's internal systems experienced some issues in 2020, as evidenced by water or steam leaks and medical assists recorded by fire services, though these incidents resulted in no civilian injuries. While the property has maintained compliance with various building codes through necessary repairs and upgrades, the recurring street-level cleanliness issues noted in 311 calls suggest an ongoing challenge in maintaining the immediate surroundings of the building. The most recent building permit activity was in December 2022, focusing on ADA compliance improvements, which indicates attention to accessibility requirements. Generally, the interior systems of the building appear to be receiving necessary maintenance, though the frequency of exterior cleanliness complaints indicates this remains a notable concern for the property.

Risk rating

How 874-876 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.
