Initial analysis

The 8-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 1101-1117 Powell Street in Nob Hill, owned by Tong & Tung Prpts LLC, was constructed in 1928 and features both residential and commercial space. The building's history reveals several concerning maintenance issues, particularly during the early 2000s, including lead paint concerns, fire safety violations (such as issues with fire extinguisher maintenance), plumbing problems, and stair repairs, all of which were ultimately abated by March 2006. More recent complaints include a significant maintenance issue from January 2022 regarding an open hole in the ceiling with paint deterioration, and multiple instances of vacant storefronts reported in 2018 and 2020, with the most recent registration issue occurring in 2020. The building has undergone regular routine inspections over the years, including a notable inspection in 2011, and a front paint condition issue was documented in 2000.

The property has experienced various external maintenance challenges in recent years, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in 2023-2024, primarily related to graffiti on mailboxes and parking meters, and street cleaning issues. While there were two false fire alarm incidents recorded, no civilian injuries were reported in connection with these events. The most recent documented building permit was issued in 2011 for street space use. The property's maintenance history shows a pattern of addressing violations, though with recurring issues, particularly related to exterior upkeep and vacant commercial space, suggesting ongoing challenges with both building maintenance and tenant turnover in the commercial portion of the property.

Risk rating

How 1101-1117 Powell 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.
