Initial analysis

The 8-unit, 4-story multi-family residential building at 1315-1321 Taylor Street in Nob Hill, owned by Gaehwiler Family LLC, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1910. Most recently, in October 2023, the building received window and door upgrades, replacing 14 wood windows and 1 patio door with fiberglass equivalents at a cost of $24,131. In 2017, the property completed mandatory soft-story upgrades at a cost of $150,000, converting it to a Tier 3 compliant structure with a Certificate of Final Completion issued. Between 1989 and 1995, the building underwent various structural and maintenance work including dry rot repairs, stucco work, and water member replacement, while in 2011 a reroofing project was completed at a cost of $47,000.

The building faced multiple fire safety and building code violations in March 2000, all of which were promptly abated by May 2000, including issues with fire proofing materials, walkway conditions, security bars, smoke enclosure door closers, and combustible storage. A routine inspection in 2004 and a leaking roof complaint in 1995 were also recorded but subsequently resolved. More recently, there has been a pattern of parking violations at the property, particularly relating to sidewalk parking, with multiple complaints documented between May and November 2023.

Risk rating

How 1315-1321 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.

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.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 20.7%
Moderate concern 58.6%
Severe concern 20.7%
