Initial analysis

The 6-unit multi-family residential building at 1041 Washington Street in Nob Hill, owned by Lidia T Woytak Revocable Family Trust, has a documented history of maintenance and safety upgrades since its construction in 1912. Most recently, in March 2023 and October 2023, the building underwent significant fire safety improvements including the installation of a new fire alarm control panel, communicator, smoke detectors, pull stations, monitor modules, horn strobes, and low-frequency sounders, bringing the system into compliance with San Francisco Fire Code requirements. The building had a period of multiple violations in 2000-2006 related to security, plumbing, electrical systems, and interior maintenance, all of which were subsequently abated by April 2006. More recent concerns include an active violation from 2016 regarding missing fire-resistant surfaces and damaged deck boards, indicating potential ongoing maintenance issues.

The property has undergone various improvements over the years, including re-stuccoing work in 2013 (cost: $17,000) and a kitchen remodel in Unit #3 (though this permit ultimately expired, it was later properly completed under a new permit in 2015). There was an illegal construction complaint in June 2023 regarding an exterior staircase built without permit, though this complaint is currently listed as not active. The building's maintenance history includes regular inspections and necessary corrections, though recent 311 calls from late 2024 have shown multiple instances of garbage and debris on or near the property, with several cases being resolved but indicating possible ongoing issues with waste management in the vicinity. The property's historical records show previous fire alarm system violations in 2007-2008, though these were addressed and closed.

Risk rating

How 1041 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.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 1125 buildings in this neighborhood, 686 are predicted to be safer.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Moderate concern 32.8%
Severe concern 26.6%
