Initial analysis

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 1675 Union Street in Cow Hollow, owned by the Tarantino Lillian V Rev Trust, has been subject to multiple fire safety concerns over recent years, with the most pressing being three open violations from November 2024 related to alarm system maintenance, storage in mechanical areas, and documentation requirements. The property has experienced recurring fire safety issues, with documented violations in October 2023, December 2021, and multiple citations between 2018-2019 including concerns about electrical systems and emergency evacuation plans. While the building has experienced several false alarm incidents (smoke detector and alarm system activations) with no injuries recorded, these incidents underscore ongoing fire safety system challenges.

The building has had limited major structural work, with records showing a reroofing project from 1998 and an electrical motor operator installation in 2005. The property's external environment has required attention, with multiple 311 calls regarding illegal parking in the vicinity and reports of garbage and debris between 2021-2024. A notable concern is the open tree maintenance request from August 2023 regarding overgrown trees, and various street cleaning matters including loose garbage removal in December 2023. The building's permit history indicates no significant major renovations or upgrades to the basic structure since its construction in 1953, though the relatively minor nature of previous permits suggests routine maintenance rather than substantial improvements.

Risk rating

How 1675 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.
