Initial analysis

1080 Post Street is a 15-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1915. The property has undergone several significant improvements and faced various challenges over the years. Most recently, in 2023, the building received an electrical system upgrade with the installation of a new fire alarm system. The building management has invested in major infrastructure improvements, including a structural strengthening project in 2012 that involved bracing parapets, tanks, and steps, as well as replacing a brick fire wall with a metal stud wall. The property underwent comprehensive unit renovations between 2007-2012, featuring kitchen and bathroom remodels in multiple apartments, including units 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 11, and 12.

The building has experienced recurring issues with boiler permit compliance, with multiple complaints filed between 2020-2022 regarding unrenewed permits. Notable violations were recorded in 2011, including fire safety concerns and security requirements, though these were ultimately abated by 2013. The property has had some maintenance challenges, including mold and water pressure issues reported in 2016, and historical fire violations from 2007 related to blocked exits and fire system maintenance. Recent external conditions around the building have generated multiple 311 calls in late 2024, primarily concerning garbage and debris, though these are street-related issues rather than building-specific problems.

Risk rating

How 1080 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
59th percentile

Out of 448 buildings in this neighborhood, 184 are predicted to be safer.
