Initial analysis

701 Pine Street is a 7-story, 44-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1926, currently owned by Del-camp Investments Inc. The building has undergone extensive interior renovations in recent years, with major remodeling work completed in multiple units from 2021 through 2024, including Units 11, 23, 52, 67, 24, 3, 4, 22, and 51. These renovations typically involved kitchen and bathroom updates, electrical improvements, and the installation of new fixtures, with most projects maintaining the original layout and no structural changes. The building experienced significant heating system issues in March 2020, with multiple tenant complaints about inadequate heat during the day and night, particularly affecting vulnerable elderly residents. This situation prompted concerns about the building's temperature-sensing device location and its impact on heating comfort for tenants.

The property's maintenance history shows regular attention to fire safety systems, with multiple fire alarm system inspections and corrections between 2015 and 2022. Previous building violations from 2010 and 2014 addressed various issues including elevator repairs, water damage, and interior surface problems, all of which were subsequently resolved. Recent building records indicate ongoing maintenance and upkeep, with the most recent renovation permits focusing on updating Unit 11 and Unit 23's kitchen and bathroom facilities in August 2024. The building's fire incident history shows no significant civilian injuries or major fire events, though there have been several alarms and system activations, typically categorized as unintentional or due to equipment issues. Recent 311 calls from 2024 primarily relate to parking enforcement and routine maintenance issues.

Risk rating

How 701 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
48th percentile

Out of 448 buildings in this neighborhood, 233 are predicted to be safer.
