Initial analysis

The three-story, six-unit apartment building at 1324 Pine Street in Downtown, owned by the James Y & Linda W Chin Revo Trust, was constructed in 1914 and has undergone several significant improvements to address safety and structural concerns over the years. Most notably, in 2016-2017, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit valued at $80,000, bringing it into compliance with seismic safety requirements. In 2019, the electrical system was modernized with the replacement of six Federal Pacific breakers and panels. The building faced multiple safety violations in 2003 related to fire safety and security requirements, including issues with fire escapes, smoke enclosures, and exterior doors, all of which were resolved by March 2004 through various repairs and improvements.

The property has maintained ongoing attention to infrastructure maintenance, including dry rot repairs in 2009, stair replacements in 2003, and a garage door upgrade in 2004. Historical records show several minor fire alarm incidents with no civilian injuries, and while there were multiple 311 calls in late 2024 regarding street cleaning issues (primarily involving garbage and debris), these were outside the building itself. The most recent building improvements and repairs demonstrate regular maintenance and attention to safety requirements, with no active violations or building complaints on file as of October 2023.

Risk rating

How 1324 Pine 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

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Moderate concern 21.2%
Severe concern 36.4%
