Initial analysis

The 16-unit, 4-story multi-family residential building at 1135 Bush Street, owned by Kam Wilson C & May C Revoc, has a documented history of building safety and maintenance issues dating back to its 1913 construction. The building has undergone several significant fire safety improvements in recent years, most notably a major fire alarm system upgrade in 2023 costing $37,880 to comply with current fire safety codes, including the installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas and updating all existing devices to be compatible with new fire alarm control panel requirements. The building previously experienced a series of fire safety violations in 2017 that were subsequently addressed, including issues with alarm systems, sprinklers, and fire escape maintenance, all of which were officially abated.

The property has a comprehensive maintenance history, including seismic upgrades in 1997, roof work in 2001, and electrical system improvements in 2003. A significant cluster of violations was recorded in December 2017, when multiple issues were identified including problems with smoke detection, damaged ceilings, window repairs, fire escape maintenance, and fire proofing requirements. These violations were all addressed and abated by June 2018. The building regularly undergoes routine inspections by Housing Inspection Services, with the most recent complaint from March 2023 regarding common areas being resolved within approximately one month. While there have been several fire complaints over the years, most were either found to have no merit or were promptly corrected, with the exception of some noted violations in 2006 and 2007 which were subsequently closed.

Risk rating

How 1135 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
65th percentile

Out of 448 buildings in this neighborhood, 157 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.

NOV rate, owner's portfolio

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 12.8%
Moderate concern 65.9%
Severe concern 21.3%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
