Initial analysis

The 12-unit, 1962 Nob Hill apartment building at 1415 Leavenworth St, owned by the W Wong Family Trust, has undergone several significant improvements and faced multiple safety-related issues over recent years. Most notably, the building completed mandatory soft-story retrofit work in 2020, achieving compliance with San Francisco's seismic requirements, though there was an expired permit from 2015 for this work valued at $19,000. Recent improvements include a $15,000 roofing project completed in 2023 to address water pooling, and comprehensive electrical upgrades in 2021 with the replacement of six Federal Pacific sub-panels, suggesting ongoing attention to the building's infrastructure. The property has experienced recurring safety concerns, with an active complaint from December 2024 regarding fire escape maintenance, smoke detection systems, and missing safety affidavits. Historical violations from 2001 included multiple fire safety issues requiring attention to fire escapes, smoke enclosures, and sprinkler systems, though these have since been resolved.

Recent tenant experience has been marked by construction-related disturbances, as evidenced by complaints in 2023 and 2021 regarding noise and debris during permitted work. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to major systems, including a complete replacement of furnaces and flues across multiple units in 2015, and previous reroofing efforts in 2002 and 2003. The property's compliance with San Francisco's mandatory soft-story program is confirmed as "Work Complete, CFC Issued." Recent environmental management issues have been recorded in 2024 regarding waste management, though these are generally handled through Recology's services and are categorized as routine rather than building-specific problems. While the building has required various safety and maintenance corrections over time, most recent permits and work suggest ongoing efforts to maintain and upgrade the property, with particular attention to seismic safety and major system replacements.

Risk rating

How 1415 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.

Neighborhood percentile
