Initial analysis

The 5-story, 8-unit residential building at 1018-1020 Pine Street, owned by Noe Vista LLC, was constructed in 2009 following the demolition of a 1913 commercial structure. The building has undergone numerous permit-related activities since its construction, with significant installations including a fire alarm system ($36,000) and an automatic fire sprinkler system (initially permitted at $45,000 but expired) in 2007, comprehensive electrical systems installation in 2007 ($360,000), and various plumbing works including radiant heating systems and kitchen modifications in 2008-2009. Notably, there is an ongoing compliance issue with the boiler permit, with the most recent violation filed in December 2024 remaining active, though previous similar violations from 2008-2020 were resolved.

The building's safety systems have been monitored through several fire safety inspections, with most recent complaints in 2024 noting potential concerns with electrical systems and extinguishers, while earlier complaints from 2021-2022 regarding various fire safety systems were found to have no merit except for one in 2021 where conditions were corrected. The property has experienced recurring issues with garbage and debris management as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in 2024, primarily related to illegal parking and waste disposal. The building's construction history included substantial infrastructure work including the installation of 100 lights, 120 switches, garbage disposals, dishwashers, and various building amenities, along with the establishment of a below-ground parking area with six stacker-spaces and one ADA accessible space.

Risk rating

How 1018-1020 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
79th percentile

Out of 448 buildings in this neighborhood, 94 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.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 36.6%
Moderate concern 59.1%
Severe concern 4.3%
