Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 1475-1479 Washington Street in Nob Hill, owned by the Mirna Gilbert Family Trust, has undergone several significant maintenance updates since its construction in 1911. Most recently, in May 2024, a substantial reroofing project was completed at a cost of $22,900. The building's maintenance history shows attention to both interior and exterior improvements, including a sewer line replacement in 2009, kitchen cabinet installation in 2004, and window updates in 1994. Notably, the building had two routine housing inspections in 2001 and 2009 that resulted in several violations related to safety and building codes, including the need for seismic bracing of hot water heaters, smoke detector installation, and gas meter instructions—though all these violations were subsequently abated.

The property has experienced various maintenance and safety-related issues in recent months, most notably a mold and mildew complaint filed in October 2024, which was accepted for review by housing inspection services. The building has also generated multiple 311 calls over the past year, primarily involving street cleaning issues, parking enforcement, and litter management. These calls include reports of garbage and debris, driveway blocking incidents, and requests for garbage can maintenance. While these issues primarily relate to the building's immediate vicinity rather than the structure itself, they provide some context about the neighborhood's current conditions. The property's maintenance record shows consistent attention to code compliance and infrastructure upkeep, with the most recent improvements focusing on major structural elements like the roof.

Risk rating

How 1475-1479 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
73th percentile

Out of 1125 buildings in this neighborhood, 304 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.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

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

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 44.5%
Moderate concern 18.7%
Severe concern 36.8%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
