Initial analysis

The 12-unit multi-family residential building at 1330 Pine St, constructed in 1910, has undergone several significant safety and maintenance improvements over the past decades, with particular attention to fire safety and structural integrity. Most recently, in October 2024, the building completed a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade to meet current code requirements, including the installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas and upgrading to a new fire alarm control panel. In 2023, major plumbing work was completed with the replacement of the sewer line from the house trap to the front door. The building achieved compliance with San Francisco's soft-story retrofit program as a Tier 3 building, having completed seismic upgrades in 2015-2016.

The property has a history of fire safety-related violations and complaints, though many have been promptly addressed. Between 2018 and 2024, there have been multiple citations regarding fire alarm systems, extinguishers, and blocked exits, all of which were corrected or abated. The building underwent significant repairs following a fire in 1991 that affected several units. More recent issues have included some building maintenance matters, such as a 2023 violation for sprinkler service, and heating issues in 2023. The building has also faced infrastructure challenges, including its 2011 complaints regarding unpermitted work on exterior walls, though these were quickly addressed. The property's maintenance record shows regular attention to structural and safety requirements, with the most recent building improvements focusing on modernizing safety systems to meet current standards.

Risk rating

How 1330 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

Out of 448 buildings in this neighborhood, 143 are predicted to be safer.

Building size

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

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 14.4%
Moderate concern 40.4%
Severe concern 45.2%
