Initial analysis

The four-story, multi-family residential building at 1743-1747 Pine Street in Lower Pacific Heights, owned by Bernard O'driscoll Lvg Tr, was constructed in 1900 and contains 2 units. The property has undergone several significant renovations and faced multiple safety-related issues over the years, with the most substantial work occurring between 2003-2008. This included the installation of safety features such as new handrails on back stairs (2003), fire separation in the basement storage room (2005), and various fire safety improvements to address violations issued in 2004-2006. These violations, which were all ultimately abated by November 2007, included requirements for fire extinguishers, smoke detection systems, fire separation, and building permits.

The building has experienced recurring maintenance and safety compliance challenges, including illegal unit complaints in 2014 and multiple 311 calls regarding garbage and debris removal in recent months (September-December 2024). There have been several fire department responses over the years, though none resulted in civilian injuries or significant damage, primarily relating to smoke removal and system malfunctions. Recent street conditions around the property have generated multiple service requests for abandoned items and waste removal, including reports of human waste and debris (September-November 2024), suggesting ongoing external maintenance challenges in the vicinity of the building. The most recent building permits on record are from 2014-2015 for streetspace-related work, indicating limited major structural changes in recent years.

Risk rating

How 1743-1747 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
44th percentile

Out of 670 buildings in this neighborhood, 375 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 62.9%
Moderate concern 17.4%
Severe concern 19.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
