Initial analysis

1111 Pine Street is a 4-story, 63-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Pine Street Residences LLC. The building has undergone several significant safety and infrastructure improvements, including a mandatory seismic retrofit completed in 2017 (Tier 2) which cost $500,000, and additional structural improvements in 2011 totaling $16,790. Major building systems have received attention over the years, with a comprehensive electrical system rewiring project completed in 2009 following fire damage, and multiple plumbing upgrades including the installation of new domestic hot water systems in 2016 and backflow device replacement in 2018.

Recent years have seen recurring maintenance and safety issues, particularly concerning the building's heating and hot water systems. Notable recent complaints include a 13-day period without hot water in late 2023, and ongoing boiler permit violations in 2022-2024. The building has experienced several concerning incidents in 2024, including an elevator outage, inadequate lighting in waste areas, accessibility issues, and problems with smoke detectors. Additionally, there have been multiple fire safety violations issued in late 2023 regarding alarm systems, sprinkler systems, and sleeping area requirements, though some have been marked as having "no merit" or were subsequently corrected. The property has a history of street space permits (2010-2020) and has been subject to various housing and building violations, though most have been resolved. A tenant buyout occurred in October 2020 for $34,299.75. Recent maintenance requests have primarily focused on boiler permits, hot water availability, and general building upkeep. The building's management has responded to many violations and complaints, though some issues remain open or referred to hearings, particularly concerning fire safety systems as of September 2023.

Risk rating

How 1111 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
