Initial analysis

1171 Bush Street is a three-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1919, containing 13 units and currently owned by DPM LLC. The property has undergone several significant structural improvements over its lifetime, including underpinning work in 1989, parapet bracing in 1988, and the installation of aluminum windows in 1990. More recent maintenance includes a $54,000 building project in 2003, window weatherproofing repairs, and compliance with various fire safety requirements.

The building has experienced notable safety and maintenance issues, most concerning being a cluster of violations documented in December 2017 that included problems with emergency lighting, fire egress pathways, and various building systems. While these violations were marked as "not active" by July 2018, they indicate past challenges with building systems and safety features. More recent records from 2022 show a fire violation regarding address numbering that was subsequently abated. The property has had multiple fire department responses, though none involved civilian injuries or actual fires, with incidents primarily related to elevator rescues and alarm system activations. Recent building maintenance work includes gas line installation (2015) and various street space permits, with the most recent significant activity being related to street cleaning and debris removal in 2024.

Risk rating

How 1171 Bush 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, 197 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.

Building size

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

NOV rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building NOV rate across everything this owner manages — high rates signal pattern neglect.

Number of units

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 12.1%
Moderate concern 73.0%
Severe concern 14.9%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
