Initial analysis

The 9-unit apartment building at 1045 Post Street, constructed in 1915, is actively addressing its fire safety systems, most recently completing a $34,991 fire alarm upgrade in February 2023 to meet current San Francisco Fire Code requirements. The building has undergone several individual unit renovations over the years, including significant improvements to Unit 6 in 2021 (kitchen and bathroom remodel), Unit 9 in 2016 (kitchen/bath remodeling and window replacement), and multiple unit upgrades between 2002-2006 involving kitchen cabinets, bathroom fixtures, and electrical work. Historical challenges with water damage and mold were documented in 2012, leading to multiple housing code violations, though these were resolved by February 2014.

The building has experienced recurring issues with its fire alarm systems, evidenced by multiple fire complaints between 2016-2024, including a 2024 alarm systems-related complaint that remains open. A September 2023 open flame burning incident was corrected within a month. There have been several fire alarm activations and false alarms, though no civilian injuries have been reported. Recent 311 calls from late 2024 indicate ongoing concerns about the building's surroundings, including reports of garbage, debris, and encampments near the property. The most recent routine inspections and violations suggest that while the building is maintaining compliance with current safety requirements, there are ongoing challenges with both building systems and the immediate neighborhood environment.

Risk rating

How 1045 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
67th percentile

Out of 448 buildings in this neighborhood, 148 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building size

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

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 14.9%
Moderate concern 47.3%
Severe concern 37.8%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
