Initial analysis

1445 Eddy Street is a 15-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1926 and currently owned by Patricia N. Yarbrough. The building has undergone several significant structural and safety improvements in recent years, most notably completing mandatory soft-story seismic retrofitting in 2017 (as a Tier 2 building) that included ground floor modifications and Ufer ground installation. The property has faced persistent maintenance challenges, particularly regarding water issues and mold, with multiple complaints between 2018-2020 documenting mold problems in various units (1, 3, 5, and 7) and the garage, including reports of leaking ceilings with holes. The building's fire safety systems have required ongoing attention, with multiple violations noted between 2021-2024 related to sprinkler/standpipe systems, alarm systems, and blocked exits, though these were generally addressed and marked as "Condition Corrected" or "Abated." The building has a history of maintenance issues dating back to the 1990s, with complaints about various problems including dry-rotted windows, plumbing issues, and heating system failures.

Recent activity at the property includes multiple 311 calls in early 2025 regarding sidewalk defects, excessive noise, and sanitation issues including reports of human waste on nearby streets. The building's permit history shows attention to both structural and safety improvements, including seismic strengthening and sewer repairs. The property has experienced periodic health and safety inspections, most recently in 2020, which have documented various maintenance issues. While many past violations and complaints have been resolved, the building continues to exhibit some maintenance challenges as evidenced by recent 311 calls and ongoing fire safety system inspections.

Risk rating

How 1445 Eddy 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.
