AI summary

The 12-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 974 Pine Street, owned by Khayam-bashi H & Tooran G, has undergone several significant improvements since its 1910 construction. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory Tier 3 soft-story retrofit in 2016 (with additional revisions costing $3,000) to improve seismic safety, which was followed by a successful inspection and issuance of a Certificate of Final Completion (CFC). The building's maintenance record shows regular attention to infrastructure, including reroofing work completed in 2012 (cost: $9,000) and in 1991.

In March 2024, the building underwent a routine housing inspection that identified multiple safety-related violations, including issues with fire escape maintenance, fire extinguisher tagging, gas utility shutoff tools, and smoke enclosure door closers. These violations were all addressed and abated by April 2024, demonstrating responsive maintenance management. The building has maintained regular inspections every few years since 2000, with previous complaints including a property management issue in 2011 (resolved the same day). The surrounding area has experienced occasional street maintenance issues, with multiple 311 calls for cleaning and debris removal between 2020 and 2024, though these are primarily external to the building itself. Two fire safety complaints were filed in 2007 (blocked exits) and 2018 (exit maintenance), with the 2007 issue being corrected and the 2018 complaint found to have no merit. The building's permit history includes several street space permits and sidewalk repairs, indicating ongoing attention to both building and surrounding infrastructure.

Risk rating

How 974 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
81th percentile

Out of 448 buildings in this neighborhood, 85 are predicted to be safer.
