Initial analysis

The 10-unit, 3-story apartment building at 1398 Leavenworth Street in Nob Hill, owned by Jann Bradley Glen, has undergone several significant improvements and faced various maintenance challenges since its construction in 1911. Most notably, the building completed its mandatory soft-story seismic retrofit in 2020 at a cost of $95,000, achieving compliance with San Francisco's seismic safety requirements. Recent building issues include an active general maintenance complaint filed in May 2024 and some historical fire safety concerns, with violations in 2021-2022 related to alarm systems, exit maintenance, and extinguishers, though these were subsequently corrected. The property has a history of water damage and window issues documented through multiple complaints in 2006-2007, which were addressed at that time.

In addition to structural improvements, the building has seen various commercial adaptations, including a significant 2016 renovation of ground floor retail space featuring new accessible counters, lighting, and shelving. The building's recent history (2020-2024) shows ongoing attention to compliance with safety regulations, particularly through the completion of the soft-story retrofit program and associated accessibility upgrades. Although the property has experienced various maintenance issues over the years, including past problems with hot water systems and window maintenance, most historical violations have been resolved, with particular attention paid to fire safety systems through regular inspections and corrections. The building's location has also generated multiple recent reports of sidewalk cleanliness issues, with numerous debris and garbage reports in late 2024, though these are external to the building itself and handled by city services.

Risk rating

How 1398 Leavenworth 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.
