Initial analysis

The four-story multi-family residential building at 1329 Taylor Street in Nob Hill, owned by Broman Enterprises, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past two decades. Most recently, in April 2024, multiple active violations were documented, including concerns about fire safety equipment (extinguishers and fire escape ladder maintenance), gas utility shutoff tools, and compliance affidavit requirements. Prior to this, in early 2022, there were notable issues with weatherproofing, lead paint hazards, and evidence of water damage in hallways. The building has a documented history of heating system problems, with complaints about insufficient heat recorded in 2013 and 2016, as well as moisture-related concerns such as mold and water damage between 2012 and 2022. A reroofing project costing $11,000 was permitted in 2019. The fire safety record shows some areas of concern, including an electrical systems incident in late 2021 (though determined to have "No Merit") and a fire extinguisher violation that was corrected. Emergency response records indicate several false alarms and system malfunctions, with one documented cooking-related incident that was confined to a container and resulted in no injuries. The building's parking situation has generated numerous complaints in 2024, primarily related to vehicles blocking driveways and unauthorized parking on sidewalks.

Risk rating

How 1329 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

What's driving this score

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.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 9.5%
Moderate concern 70.0%
Severe concern 20.5%
