Initial analysis

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 1724-1726 Steiner St in Lower Pacific Heights, owned by Liberation House and constructed in 1900, has experienced numerous maintenance and safety issues over the past several decades. Most concerning is a 2018 housing inspection complaint alleging serious safety and sanitation concerns, including missing and broken windows and overcrowding with more than 20 residents in one flat. The building has a documented pattern of fire safety violations between 2017 and 2024, primarily related to alarm systems, sprinkler/standpipe systems, and fire extinguisher maintenance, though most have been corrected following citations. Structural concerns have been addressed through several significant projects, including seismic foundation work in 1983, electrical upgrades and kitchen modifications in 1987-1988, and plumbing improvements including a new house trap installation in 2019. More recent history shows ongoing maintenance challenges with numerous reports of garbage and debris, including multiple cases in late 2024, though these primarily concern exterior areas rather than building conditions.

The property has undergone several major improvements and repairs over its history, including reroofing work in 1995 and various kitchen-related modifications in the late 1980s, though some permits from this period show as expired or cancelled. A significant tenant buyout occurred in July 2020, involving one tenant for $8,000. The building's recent history (2023-2024) shows a concentration of fire safety-related issues that required correction, with the most recent violation in December 2023 regarding sleeping area requirements. The property has also experienced recurring maintenance issues requiring attention, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls regarding street cleaning and other municipal concerns. The combination of historical structural work, ongoing fire safety maintenance, and recent waste management issues presents a complex picture of the property's condition and management responses over time.

Risk rating

How 1724-1726 Steiner 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
37th percentile

Out of 670 buildings in this neighborhood, 422 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.

Building age

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 46.0%
Moderate concern 33.0%
Severe concern 21.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
