Initial analysis

The 12-unit multi-family residential building at 1360-1370 Pine Street, owned by Wai John E, was constructed in 1909 and consists of three stories. The property has experienced several concerning issues in recent years, most notably in 2022-2024, with ongoing maintenance and safety concerns. Recent complaints include inadequate lobby lighting reported in January 2024, unauthorized construction work in October 2023, and a concerning incident in October 2022 involving after-hours construction work that prompted police involvement. Historical violations and maintenance issues include multiple heating system updates between 2018-2020, a sewer breakdown in October 2010, and various plumbing problems including water heater and furnace replacements. The building has faced regulatory scrutiny, with several violations between 2017-2022 related to fire safety systems, including alarm systems, extinguishers, and blocked exits, though these have all been marked as abated.

The property's maintenance history shows periodic updates to essential systems, including multiple heating system replacements and emergency lighting installations. However, there have been multiple instances of building code violations and complaints regarding basic services like heat provision, asbestos handling, and building security. The building underwent significant mechanical work in 2018-2020, including furnace replacements in multiple units and boiler ventilation repairs. Recent 311 calls from 2023-2024 indicate continuing issues with building exterior maintenance, garbage disposal, and sewer problems. The building's fire safety record shows several violations and alarm system issues between 2017 and 2023, though most were resolved promptly. While some historical maintenance issues have been addressed, the property has exhibited recurrent problems with basic building systems and safety compliance, particularly in recent years.

Risk rating

How 1360-1370 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, 197 are predicted to be safer.
