Initial analysis

The 4-story multi-family residential building at 929-931 Bush Street, owned by Charlotte Marguerite Hoover, was constructed in 1913 and contains 7 units. The building has undergone several significant upgrades over the past two decades, including substantial interior renovations in 2002 costing $120,000, which involved wall repairs, drywall work, kitchen cabinet replacement, and electrical updates. More recent maintenance includes sewer work in 2020, involving installation of risers on sewer housetraps and replacement of 40 feet of sewer main in 2012. The building has experienced multiple fire safety-related issues, particularly in 2016 when violations were recorded for problems with fire extinguishers, the central alarm system, and structural maintenance requirements, though these were all abated by April 2016. Historical concerns include several rat-proofing repairs in 1988, heating system complaints in 1997-1998, and a neon sign violation in 2012.

The building's recent history shows attention to infrastructure maintenance, with street space permits filed in 2020 and various plumbing improvements. Fire safety records indicate occasional system malfunctions, with two documented incidents: a water/steam leak and a smoke detector activation, neither resulting in civilian injuries. Recent 2025 calls to 311 primarily relate to parking issues and street cleaning matters near the building, rather than building-specific problems. The property has undergone regular routine inspections, with the most recent documented in 2016, and previous violations regarding security and fire safety requirements have all been resolved. A fire escape complaint from 2022 and a hoarding complaint from 2020 were both determined to have no merit.

Risk rating

How 929-931 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.
