Initial analysis

745 Pine Street is a three-story, 18-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1907 and currently owned by Dennis Pine LLC. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and safety-related improvements over the past decades, including a mandatory seismic retrofit completed in 2015 at a cost of $80,000 to comply with San Francisco's Soft Story Retrofit program. More recent safety concerns have emerged, with fire safety violations recorded in 2023 including issues with fire extinguishers, the fire escape, and alarm systems - though all these violations have been abated. The building has a history of maintenance challenges, particularly between 2018-2019, when multiple tenant complaints were filed regarding inadequate hallway lighting, broken appliances, and heating system deficiencies. During this period, there were also reports of gas odor in the hallways and several instances of heating system failures.

The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of reactive rather than proactive maintenance, with multiple violations and complaints being recorded over the years. These include fire safety violations, heating system issues, and problems with building security features. More recent improvements include a new flue installation for the hot water boiler in 2017 and various street space permits. While the building has completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit, the repeated nature of fire safety violations and tenant complaints suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance and resident comfort. The property has also experienced some issues with illegal short-term rental activity, though this appears to have been resolved. Regular street cleaning and sidewalk maintenance have been documented through multiple 311 calls, indicating ongoing efforts to maintain the property's exterior environment, though these primarily relate to public space rather than building condition itself.

Risk rating

How 745 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
49th percentile

Out of 448 buildings in this neighborhood, 228 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Number of units

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

Building size

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

Property class (A15)

The assessor's property-class code, which correlates with building type and the violation rates the model expects.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 17.1%
Moderate concern 55.2%
Severe concern 27.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
