Initial analysis

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 1351-1355 Washington Street in Nob Hill is a 2-story flats and duplex structure built in 1908, currently owned by Trust C. The property has undergone various improvements over the years, with the most recent significant work being a bathroom remodel costing $25,000, permitted in October 2024. Historical records show prior renovations including re-roofing in 2000 and multiple bathroom and kitchen improvements in the 1980s. The building experienced several routine housing inspections between 2000 and 2011, during which time there were violations noted in September 2000 related to fire extinguisher requirements and plumbing issues, though these were promptly abated by September 26, 2000.

Recent activity at the property has been focused on exterior maintenance and urban space management, with multiple 311 calls in late 2024 primarily related to garbage and debris issues, sidewalk concerns, and parking violations, including two citations issued for driveway blocking. Notably, in April 2024, there was a tenant buyout recorded at 1353 Washington Street involving two tenants and a payment of $55,000. The building's fire safety record shows only one incident - a false alarm or call - with no injuries reported, and most recent housing inspection findings have not indicated any active violations. The property has generally maintained compliance with housing codes since the 2000 incident, with routine inspections being conducted regularly.

Risk rating

How 1351-1355 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, 506 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Property class: multi-family flat

2–4 unit flats (class F) are a common SF building type with their own maintenance and complaint patterns.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 49.0%
Moderate concern 22.0%
Severe concern 29.1%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
