Initial analysis

This three-story, four-unit multi-family residential building in Pacific Heights, owned by Harry Y & Beatrice Hom Revo, was constructed in 1900 and has undergone significant renovations and upgrades over the past decade. The most substantial work occurred between 2014-2022, including a major horizontal addition at the rear ($900,000) and comprehensive systems overhauls. Notable recent improvements include the installation of a new fire sprinkler system ($54,000), fire alarm monitoring system ($4,000), complete electrical rewiring for all units (2022), new gas lines for all units (2021), and substantial plumbing upgrades including bathroom remodels and kitchen renovations (2005). The building has had several permit and code-related issues, particularly in 2019-2020, when there were concerns about expired permits, security during construction, and potential problems with adjacent properties' foundations. A significant complaint was filed in December 2022 regarding unauthorized excavation work and retaining wall concerns, though this was marked as not active in January 2023.

The building's history includes some notable violations from 2001 concerning safety issues that were ultimately abated by 2003, including problems with fire escape ladders, gas shutoff tools, and electrical wiring. A previous pattern of illegal short-term rentals was documented but resolved in 2018 through intervention by city authorities. Recent years have shown consistent building maintenance and systems improvements, with particular attention paid to fire safety systems and unit-specific upgrades. The property has experienced regular parking enforcement issues, evidenced by multiple complaints about blocked driveways in 2023-2024, and occasional concerns about garbage and debris in the surrounding area, though these are municipal service matters rather than building-specific issues.

Risk rating

How 2012-2014 Broadway'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

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 886 are predicted to be safer.
