Initial analysis

This three-story mixed-use building at 1164-1170 Powell Street in Nob Hill, managed by Csl Management Co LLC, was constructed in 1907 and contains three residential units above ground-floor commercial space. The building has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, with the most notable being a $35,000 ADA-compliance upgrade to the front entrance completed in 2022. In 2017, a commercial kitchen equipment installation was completed with a UL300 fire suppression system, indicating the presence of a food service operation on the premises. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, including a 2003 electrical upgrade to improve common area lighting and a 1998 reroofing project.

The property experienced multiple violations in 2005 related to fire safety and electrical systems, including issues with the fire escape ladder, fire alarm system, and fire extinguisher maintenance, though all were resolved by June 2005. More recently, there have been several 311 calls regarding the property's surroundings, primarily concerning illegal parking and street cleaning issues, though these are external to the building itself. The ground-floor commercial space has seen various tenant changes over the years, with the most recent business being Chatown Beverage LLC, previously known as "Keep It Sweet," which operates as a limited restaurant/tea shop with proper permits. The building has maintained compliance with city regulations regarding storefront signage and health permits, with all recent business operations properly authorized under current zoning and health codes. The property's planning records show consistent management response to regulatory requirements, including recent approvals for various commercial permits and health referrals.

Risk rating

How 1164-1170 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.
