Initial analysis

The property at 1236-1238 Leavenworth Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Nob Hill neighborhood. Built in 1907 and currently owned by Descendants Trust Utd Famil, the building has undergone several significant renovations over the past two decades. Notable improvements include a comprehensive renovation in 2012 that encompassed kitchen and bathroom updates in one unit, including new cabinets, countertops, tiles, and lighting, along with electrical upgrades including new wiring and a sub-panel installation. A set of building violations was recorded in March 2012 related to weather proofing and drainage issues, though these were resolved by March 2013.

The building has a documented history of maintenance and improvements, including a kitchen and bathroom remodel in 2008, street space permits in 2007-2012, and roof work in 1994. Earlier issues included concerns about window safety and mold in 2010, which were addressed within six months. Recent activity around the property has primarily involved street cleaning matters, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls between 2020 and 2025, including reports of debris, waste, and cleaning needs, though these external issues do not directly impact building conditions. An electrical incident involving a downed power line was recorded, but with no civilian injuries reported. The building has maintained compliance with post-violation requirements, with no active violations or complaints currently on record.

Risk rating

How 1236-1238 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

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.
