Initial analysis

The 11-unit apartment building at 1825 Pine Street in Lower Pacific Heights, owned by the Nelson 1995 Revocable Trust, was constructed in 1924 and stands three stories tall with 5 to 14 units. The building has undergone significant improvements over recent years, including mandatory safety upgrades such as a $33,000 fire alarm system upgrade in 2021 to install low-frequency sounders and replace the control panel, and a $60,000 soft story retrofit completed in 2016 to improve earthquake safety. Unit renovations have been a recurring theme, with documented improvements to multiple units including Unit 2 (2021), Unit 8 (2015), and other common areas. The building experienced some compliance issues in early 2021, resulting in violations and penalties related to unauthorized kitchen and bathroom remodeling work, though these were promptly addressed through the acquisition of proper permits.

Recent fire safety concerns were documented in July 2023, with violations issued for alarm systems and extinguishers, though these were subsequently abated by August 2023. The building's fire safety history shows recurring alarm system activations, though none resulted in actual fires or civilian injuries. Historical records reveal that one illegal unit was removed from the ground floor in 1989, and the building has maintained an active compliance record since then, including regular updates to meet current building codes. Recent 311 calls from late 2024 mainly relate to street-level issues such as abandoned vehicles, debris, and utility matters, which are typical for urban environments and do not directly reflect on the building's condition. The property has shown consistent investment in maintenance and safety upgrades, with most recent work focusing on unit improvements and compliance with modern building codes and safety requirements.

Risk rating

How 1825 Pine 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.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 670 buildings in this neighborhood, 556 are predicted to be safer.
