Initial analysis

1801 Broadway is a 6-story, 12-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Exnicios Aimee & Jacobs Mil. The property has undergone significant maintenance and upgrades in recent years, most notably a comprehensive fire alarm system modernization in September 2023 costing over $50,000, which included replacement of the fire alarm control panel, initiating devices, smoke detectors, pull station, and notification devices. The building's rooftop has been continuously maintained as an AT&T wireless facility, with regular modifications between 2018 and 2024 involving antenna and equipment replacements, with the most recent work completed in February 2024 adding a boiler room with heat detector as per inspector request.

Historical context shows the building has faced various maintenance challenges, particularly during a routine inspection in 2015 which revealed multiple issues including window repairs, wall damage, floor covering problems, and concerns about lead-based paint, though these violations were subsequently abated. The property had earlier violations regarding a steam boiler permit in 2005 and fire extinguisher accessibility in 2007, both of which were resolved. Recent years have shown active management of both building systems and external maintenance, with multiple 311 calls in 2024 primarily related to street cleaning and parking issues. The building appears to be currently maintained to modern safety standards, with no active violations or complaints as of the latest records.

Risk rating

How 1801 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.

Number of units

No violation 41.2%
Moderate concern 32.8%
Severe concern 25.9%
