Initial analysis

The 12-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 1435 Washington Street in Nob Hill, owned by the Stahl Family 1995 Trust, was constructed in 1921 and has undergone several significant improvements over the years. Most recently, in 2023, Apartment 10 received a kitchen remodel including new cabinets, countertop, and electrical upgrades, while electrical improvements completed in September 2024 included the replacement of 13 recalled breaker panels. The building has completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit (Tier 3) in 2015, which involved foundation upgrades and garage wall improvements, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements.

The building has a documented history of addressing various maintenance and safety issues, including three separate roofing projects (most recently in 2010), window replacements in 2018, and significant electrical system upgrades. Multiple fire safety inspections have occurred, with the most recent fire-related complaints in 2024 regarding extinguishers and alarm systems, both of which were corrected. Historical violations from 2004-2008 included concerns about lead paint, interior surfaces, and a fire escape ladder, all of which were subsequently addressed. There have been periodic tenant-reported issues such as water damage (2008), a boiler problem (1999), and exterior maintenance concerns (2020), though most maintenance complaints appear to have been resolved through appropriate channels.

Risk rating

How 1435 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, 1012 are predicted to be safer.
