Initial analysis

The Toraya Apartments at 1726-1734 Post Street is a 17-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1963 in the Lower Pacific Heights neighborhood. The property has undergone significant updates and faced several challenges over the past few years. Most recently, in October 2024, the building received electrical system upgrades including the replacement of old Federal Pacific electric panels and installation of new outlets in the basement. Fire safety remains a critical focus, with the property experiencing multiple violations and corrections in 2023, including issues with sleeping area requirements, fire extinguishers, exit maintenance, and alarm systems. The building has seen substantial infrastructure improvements since 2017, including the upgrade of fire alarm systems, installation of sprinkler monitoring systems, mechanical work for ventilation systems, and bathroom and kitchen remodels.

The property's history includes some concerning maintenance and safety issues, particularly in 2015-2017, when multiple complaints were filed regarding mold, inoperable windows, plumbing issues, and security concerns. There were also several fire safety violations between 2018 and 2023, though most have been abated. Recent observations in early 2025 have primarily related to street-level maintenance issues such as lighting and garbage, which are currently being addressed. The building's management has made concerted efforts to tackle these various issues through substantial investments in building systems and timely responses to violations, though some matters, particularly regarding fire safety compliance, seem to require ongoing attention. The property is currently under permit for reroofing work valued at $98,000, expected to enhance the building's weather protection and energy efficiency.

Risk rating

How 1726-1734 Post 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, 523 are predicted to be safer.
