Initial analysis

The four-story, 21-unit apartment building at 1101 Pine Street, constructed in 1909, has undergone several significant safety and infrastructure upgrades in recent years. Most notably, in 2023, the building received a major fire safety upgrade with the replacement of its fire alarm system and the installation of required emergency horn signaling devices at a cost of $47,000. An active electrical permit from March 2024 indicates ongoing work to upgrade electrical systems throughout the building, including new circuits and wiring for all 22 units. The building has experienced recurring issues that required attention, including a 2018 complaint about clanging radiator pipes (resolved), and various routine safety inspections revealing multiple fire safety concerns in 2016, including problems with the fire escape, fire escape ladder, carbon monoxide detectors, and other safety equipment - all of which were subsequently addressed.

The property has a documented history of attending to infrastructure maintenance, demonstrated through multiple boiler replacements in recent years (including a 2013 steam boiler installation and a 2009 hot water boiler inspection). While there have been several fire alarm activations and system malfunctions recorded by the fire department over the years, no civilian injuries have been reported. The building appears to be actively managed with regular upgrades to maintain compliance with current safety codes, as evidenced by the recent fire safety improvements and ongoing electrical work. However, there are persistent challenges outside the building, with numerous 311 calls in late 2024 regarding street cleaning issues, including reports of garbage and debris that were subsequently resolved by city services.

Risk rating

How 1101 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
70th percentile

Out of 448 buildings in this neighborhood, 134 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.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 11.5%
Moderate concern 75.3%
Severe concern 13.2%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
