Initial analysis

The 12-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 1400 Leavenworth Street, constructed in 1924 in the Nob Hill neighborhood, is currently managed by Hom Family Revoc Management. The property has undergone various significant improvements and faced some regulatory challenges over the years. Most notably, in 2009, the building faced multiple violations related to fire safety and systems, including the need for annual central fire alarm system certification, fire escape maintenance verification, and boiler operating permit requirements, though these were abated by March 2009. More recent issues include an active general maintenance complaint from May 2024 regarding a heat timeclock removal, and a 2023 incident involving a broken window on the ground floor that was resolved by June 2023. The building's fire safety systems have been a recurring focus, with violations noted in 2021 (though marked as "No Merit" for exit maintenance) and a previous violation for the alarm system in 2019. Recent history shows several fire department responses, primarily for false alarms and system malfunctions, with one recorded cooking fire in a contained situation and no injuries reported in any incident.

The property has undergone various improvements, including a 2009 upgrade to the kitchen hood fire suppression system, the installation of grease traps in 2013, and interior remodeling work in 2002-2003 that included new lighting and outlets. Multiple units received kitchen and bathroom renovations in 1996, and there have been various infrastructure maintenance actions including street space permits, sidewalk repairs, and building inspections. Recent 311 calls from late 2024 primarily relate to street cleaning issues, suggesting ongoing external maintenance challenges in the immediate area. The building's management has generally complied with regulatory requirements, though there have been occasions requiring active correction of violations, particularly related to safety systems and general maintenance.

Risk rating

How 1400 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

Out of 1125 buildings in this neighborhood, 889 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

NOV rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building NOV rate across everything this owner manages — high rates signal pattern neglect.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 16.9%
Moderate concern 52.0%
Severe concern 31.1%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
