Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 1200-1206 Stockton Street, owned by Der Hofina 411 Investments, was constructed in 1907 and contains 13 units. The building has undergone several significant safety upgrades over the past decade, including the installation of a comprehensive sprinkler system in 2016 (costing $22,000) with subsequent modifications in 2023 to enhance fire alarm monitoring ($5,400), and multiple fire alarm system violations in 2019 and 2022 that were subsequently corrected. The property has experienced recurring water-related issues, with notable incidents in 2016 involving leaks in the ground floor commercial space that affected both the ceiling and interior wood steps, though these violations were eventually abated. More recent concerns include active complaints from January 2023 regarding unpermitted awning work and disrepair.

Historical records indicate the building underwent a seismic retrofit in 1999 and had various unit-specific repairs, including a $15,000 renovation in 2005 to address damaged plaster and window issues in unit 203. The property has maintained regular housing inspections, with some notable violations recorded in 2007 regarding fire safety systems, roof access, and fire escape functionality, though most were addressed by 2008. Recent activity includes multiple street cleaning and maintenance calls in late 2024, though these are external to the building's internal conditions. Fire incident records show primarily non-emergency responses, such as false alarms, gas leak checks, and elevator rescues, with no civilian injuries recorded in recent years.

Risk rating

How 774 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
