Initial analysis

The 13-unit, 4-story multi-family residential building at 935 Pine Street, built in 1921, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety events over recent years. Most recently, in early 2024, the building underwent substantial fire safety upgrades, including a $49,533 fire alarm system upgrade to comply with local codes, followed by corrections to device abbreviations in March 2024. The building has faced several serious maintenance challenges, particularly in 2020 when there were multiple complaints about sewage issues affecting multiple units in September 2020, requiring temporary relocation of tenants. An active deck safety concern from 2018 remains notable, while previous violations in 2015 involved multiple issues including plumbing problems, lead paint concerns, and weatherproofing deficiencies, though these were abated by February 2016.

The property has undergone several important structural and safety improvements over the years, including a sewer line replacement in 2015, deck repairs in 2018, and various lighting improvements to enhance safety in common areas. Multiple fire alarm system inspections and repairs have been documented, with the most recent issues (February 2024 and June 2023) showing prompt corrective action taken. The building's exterior and common areas have been the subject of regular maintenance and cleaning efforts, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls regarding garbage, debris, and waste issues in the vicinity, with the most recent calls recorded in 2024. While the building's history shows persistent maintenance needs typical of older structures, recent comprehensive fire safety upgrades and the resolution of numerous past violations indicate active management response to building safety and habitability requirements.

Risk rating

How 935 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, 130 are predicted to be safer.

Number of units

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