Initial analysis

The Young Family Trust's 33-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 1345 Taylor Street in Nob Hill, built in 1925, has undergone significant improvements and faced several maintenance challenges over recent years. Most notably, the building completed its soft-story retrofit in 2018, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements, and has recently upgraded its fire alarm system in November 2023 to meet current safety standards with new low-frequency sounders and updated devices. The property has experienced recurring issues with water intrusion, with active complaints from 2021 and 2022 regarding leaks affecting neighboring properties, and has faced multiple housing code violations between 2017-2018 including problems with mold, heating systems, and deteriorated building elements. A cluster of complaints in 2018 highlighted concerns about mold, structural issues, and heating problems, though most were resolved through appropriate permits and repairs, including the replacement of heaters in several units. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to system upgrades and repairs, including a new boiler installation in 2020 and various unit-specific improvements. Recent fire safety inspections show an active violation regarding sleeping area requirements as of December 2023, though other fire safety issues from previous years have been corrected. While the building has faced various challenges typical of its age and type, the records indicate ongoing efforts by management to address maintenance issues and comply with safety regulations, though some concerns about water intrusion and the most recent fire safety violation appear to remain unresolved.

Risk rating

How 1345 Taylor 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, 855 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.

Number of units

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

Building size

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

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 9.2%
Moderate concern 82.7%
Severe concern 8.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
