Initial analysis

The 12-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 930 Leavenworth Street, owned by Chan Living Trust, has a significant history of safety and maintenance concerns dating back to its 1911 construction. Most notably, in 2012-2013, the building underwent a major correction when an illegal basement unit was identified and subsequently removed, including abatement work in plumbing and electrical systems. This violation revealed numerous safety issues, including inadequate egress, unauthorized modifications, and water damage. The property has undergone several important structural improvements, including a reroofing project completed in 2023 at a cost of $20,000, an expired seismic retrofit attempt in 1999, and successful parapet reinforcement in 1987.

The building has experienced recurring fire safety concerns, with multiple fire extinguisher-related complaints between 2009 and 2024, as well as sprinkler system issues in 2018 that were promptly corrected. Recent maintenance records show ongoing challenges, with numerous 311 calls in 2024 primarily related to garbage and debris management around the property, including instances of human waste and abandoned furniture. Historical violations from 2010-2012 reveal various safety and maintenance issues that have since been addressed, including problems with the fire escape ladder, central alarm system, security features, and utility shutoff requirements. The building's recent history has been comparatively quieter in terms of major violations, with the most recent significant work being the 2023 reroofing project, though the 2024 fire extinguisher complaint indicates that some maintenance issues persist.

Risk rating

How 930 Leavenworth 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
