Initial analysis

The 2-story multi-family residential building at 1076-1080 Washington Street in Nob Hill, owned by Pabo LLC, was constructed in 1936 and contains 9 units. The property has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past two decades, with the most pressing current concern being an active complaint from January 2024 regarding persistent water leakage with sewage odor from the bathroom ceiling, reportedly affecting units for 20 years. The building has faced structural challenges, particularly with the retaining wall, with an active violation from 2018 regarding cracks and movement in both this building's wall and that of the neighboring property at 1238 Mason Street. Recent maintenance work was completed in 2023 to replace the retaining wall, indicating some attention to this ongoing issue.

The property has a history of boiler permit compliance issues, with violations in 2015 and 2018, though these were eventually resolved. Fire safety inspections revealed concerns about fire extinguishers in 2017-2018, which were corrected. Routine inspections have been conducted periodically, with various minor violations noted and resolved over the years, including problems with window sash cords and smoke detectors in 2005, though these are no longer active. Recent developments include a noise complaint filed in November 2024, which remains open. The building's documentation was formalized in 2014, clarifying its use as a 3-story building with 4 residential units and a commercial storefront in the front section, with a rear section housing additional residential units.

Risk rating

How 1076-1080 Washington 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.
