Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 1061 Francisco Street in Russian Hill is a two-unit structure built in 1956, currently owned by the David Breskin 2000 Trust. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, including a partial vertical addition of the second story in 1998 ($40,000), kitchen and bathroom remodels, and the installation of 30 roof-mounted solar panels with electrical fixtures in 2006 ($43,000). More recent upgrades include the installation of an electric vehicle charger in the garage in 2024, roof and framing repairs to the breezeway in 2022, and the replacement of the electrical service in 2007. The building has faced some maintenance challenges, with records showing repairs for dry rot in 1993 and a complaint in 2007 regarding construction-related issues, though this was abated the next day.

The property's surrounding area has experienced various municipal issues over the years, with multiple reports of abandoned vehicles (most recently in 2020), sidewalk defects (reported in 2020), and other street maintenance matters. Notable recent concerns include a missing side sewer vent cover in 2014, which was resolved. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to infrastructure needs, with most permits being properly completed. The most recent building work (the EV charger installation) demonstrates ongoing modernization efforts at the property.

Risk rating

How 1061 Francisco 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 1133 buildings in this neighborhood, 68 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.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

Building size

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

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 80.5%
Moderate concern 10.4%
Severe concern 9.0%
