Initial analysis

The three-story mixed-use building at 1775-1785 Union Street in Cow Hollow, owned by Unoc LLC, was constructed in 1905 and contains 6 residential units above ground-floor retail/restaurant space. The property has undergone numerous improvements over the years, with significant recent work including comprehensive plumbing infrastructure upgrades in 2024 (exterior cast iron drain/vents replacement), 2021 (backflow replacement), and 2020 (installation of earthquake valves). The building has experienced some maintenance challenges, as evidenced by multiple fire extinguisher-related complaints in 2017, though these were resolved. Two noise complaints regarding construction work were filed in March 2023, and there have been recurring issues with garbage and debris in the vicinity, as shown by multiple 311 calls in 2024. The property has also undergone various tenant improvements and compliance upgrades, including the installation of a fitness studio in 2015, ADA modifications, kitchen renovations, and electrical system improvements including circuit breaker repairs in 2018 and dedicated circuits installation in 2017.

Historical records show previous concerns such as blocked exits and overcrowding complaints in 2017, though all were determined to have no merit. Fire incidents have been minimal, with only three recorded incidents since 2017, all involving either equipment malfunction or false alarms with no injuries reported. The building has maintained its commercial unit as a restaurant space (currently operating as Roam Artisan Burgers), with various improvements to comply with safety and accessibility standards, including fire suppression systems, electrical rewiring, and plumbing updates. Recent building activity has primarily focused on infrastructure improvements, with all major work properly permitted and completed in accordance with city regulations.

Risk rating

How 1775-1785 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.
