Initial analysis

The property at 1075 Ofarrell Street is a three-story, 12-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1922, currently undergoing significant unit improvements. Most recently, Unit 10 is scheduled for kitchen and bathroom rehabilitation in August 2024, following similar completed renovations in Unit 1 (November 2023) and Unit 7 (May 2018). The building has experienced several regulatory and maintenance challenges in recent years, including a boiler permit issue in April 2024, multiple fire safety violations between 2022-2024 (including violations related to sprinklers, alarm systems, and extinguishers), and various electrical infrastructure upgrades such as an attempted 400-amp service installation in 2018.

Historical records show several significant improvements and incidents affecting the building's systems and tenant experience. Between 2018-2021, there were improvements to the building's common areas, including lobby renovations, fire alarm upgrades, and electrical work, though some of this work was performed without proper permits, leading to violation notices. The building has experienced multiple maintenance issues, including heating system problems reported in 2020, electrical circuit concerns in 2021, and various complaints regarding common area conditions. A notable series of building violations from 2008 related to security, ventilation, heating, and gas utility requirements were later abated.

Risk rating

How 1075 Ofarrell 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.
