Initial analysis

The 15-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 1101 Francisco Street in Russian Hill, owned by Paige Fmly Tr, has undergone significant improvements since its 1925 construction. The most substantial recent work was completed in 2022, involving a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade with new panels, smoke detectors, pull stations, and low-frequency horns throughout the building, costing $17,000. The building successfully completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2016 (Tier 2 status) at a cost of $250,000, demonstrating adherence to seismic safety requirements. Between 2017 and 2021, the property underwent extensive unit renovations, including modernizations to Units 102, 104, 204, 205, and 304, encompassing kitchen and bathroom upgrades, electrical improvements, and plumbing enhancements totaling over $100,000. The building has experienced several fire-related incidents, though none resulted in civilian injuries or significant damage, including a building fire recorded in 2019 with unintentional ignition, and multiple instances of alarm system or smoke detector malfunctions. More recently, there has been a series of recurring issues with overflowing city garbage cans in the vicinity of the building, with multiple reports filed between November 2024 and January 2025, though these are external to the building itself. The property's maintenance history shows regular updates to safety systems, including a 2019 washer/dryer installation and various routine inspections by Housing Inspection Services, with no active violations on record.

Risk rating

How 1101 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.
