Initial analysis

The property at 1560-1562 Union Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1902 in the Cow Hollow neighborhood, currently owned by the Angela Corcoran Trust. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and safety-related events over the past several years. Most notably, in late 2022, the building received substantial roof maintenance including both complete reroofing (costing $9,600) and replacement of five plywood sections ($580). Prior to this, there were some concerning safety issues documented between 2017-2019, including multiple fire alarm system problems, sprinkler system concerns, and exit maintenance issues, though all were ultimately marked as "Condition Corrected" or "No Merit" once addressed. In 2017, there were violations related to fire extinguishers and hazardous materials, and in 2018, there was a sprinkler system service violation that was abated.

Recently, the building has experienced several issues typical of urban locations, including multiple reports of driveway blocking and abandoned vehicles in 2023-2024, though these parking-related matters are external to the building itself. There are also some open issues currently on record, including graffiti (reported October 2023) and street defects (reported September 2023). The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, with the most recent major work being the 2022 roof repairs, which suggest proper attention to building infrastructure. The property has had two documented smoke-related incidents (both classified as either malfunction or false alarm) with no civilian injuries reported. The building's permit and complaint history indicates that while there have been various maintenance and safety issues over the years, most have been addressed through proper channels and permits.

Risk rating

How 1560-1562 Union 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
81th percentile

Out of 861 buildings in this neighborhood, 164 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 age

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 84.5%
Moderate concern 8.7%
Severe concern 6.8%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
