AI summary

The three-story multi-family residential building at 1561-1563 Leavenworth Street in Nob Hill, managed by owner Fireside-ostergaard Eleanor, was constructed in 1909 and contains two units. The building underwent a significant major renovation in 1993-1994 with the addition of third-floor living space, followed by modifications to the foundation plan. In 1995, important safety improvements were made with the installation of underground piping and fire sprinklers in the garage. More recently, the building received a new roof in 2015, representing the latest major structural work on the property.

The surrounding area has experienced persistent maintenance challenges, particularly during late 2022 and early 2023, with multiple reports of human or animal waste on the street between December 22, 2022, and February 28, 2023. The most recent street-related issues were recorded in 2023-2024, including instances of general cleaning needs and graffiti, though these were all promptly addressed and resolved by city agencies. Two street space permits were issued in 2008 and 2015, and the property has maintained compliance with health and safety standards, as evidenced by the regular resolution of reported issues. The building's maintenance history shows attention to structural integrity and safety features, with no recent permits indicating major repairs or violations.

Risk rating

How 1561-1563 Leavenworth 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.
