Initial analysis

1575 Pine Street is a three-story, 12-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1911, currently owned by the Wisecarver Family 2006 Revocable Trust. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and safety-related incidents over the past years, with particular emphasis on fire safety systems. Most recently, in September 2023, repairs to a wooden staircase were filed, and there have been multiple fire code violations recorded between 2019-2024, including issues with alarm systems, extinguishers, exit maintenance, and various safety equipment. The building experienced three notable fire-related incidents (unintentional system activations) in 2020, and multiple instances of fire alarm malfunctions were documented, though all such incidents resulted in no civilian injuries.

The property has shown attention to maintenance with historical records showing reroofing work in 1988 and 1990, and the installation of a solar domestic hot water system in 1984. Two routine housing inspections in 2000 and 2008 revealed various violations, including issues with fireproofing, excessive storage, plumbing/electrical problems, and damaged ceilings, though all were subsequently abated. More recent concerns have emerged regarding building surroundings, with several 311 calls in late 2024-2025 related to garbage, debris, and encampments near the property, though these are external to the building itself. The building's maintenance history suggests regular upkeep, though the pattern of fire safety violations indicates ongoing attention required for compliance with current safety standards.

Risk rating

How 1575 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
61th percentile

Out of 85 buildings in this neighborhood, 33 are predicted to be safer.
