Initial analysis

1 Charlton Court is a 3-story, 18-unit multi-family residential building located in Cow Hollow, constructed in 1964 and currently owned by Kelleher Living Trust 1987. The property has undergone several significant safety and maintenance upgrades in recent years, including sounder installations in sleeping areas to comply with fire code requirements in August 2023, replacement of the Stablok house and elevator panels in July 2023, and the installation of a new water heater in 2013. The building has experienced recurring fire safety concerns, with violations related to sleeping area requirements issued in December 2023 and multiple fire complaints between 2017-2022 regarding blocked exits, alarm systems, sprinkler systems, and extinguishers, though most of these were corrected promptly.

The property has undergone regular maintenance interventions, including two roofing projects in 2017 (costing $64,650), and stucco and sheathing replacement work in 2010 (approximately 500 sq.ft.). Recent plumbing work in 2022 involved relocating washer and dryer equipment in the garage for safety reasons. The building has maintained an active response to fire safety inspections, with the most recent fire violation related to sleeping area requirements being promptly addressed. While there have been several sidewalk blocking and garbage-related service requests in 2024, these appear to be more related to street conditions than building-specific issues. The property's maintenance history shows regular upkeep and modernization efforts, particularly in addressing fire safety requirements and general infrastructure maintenance.

Risk rating

How 1 Charlton Ct'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

Number of units

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 52.2%
Moderate concern 32.1%
Severe concern 15.7%
