Initial analysis

The 52-unit Laurel Gardens Apartments, located at 1135-1175 Steiner St in the Western Addition, is a 3-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1977. The property has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years, most notably a cluster of active violations filed in October 2023 related to interior doors, rodent infestation, wall damage, and heating system problems. These violations, which include a sleeping area requirement violation, may indicate ongoing concerns with resident comfort and building maintenance standards. The building has a documented history of fire safety system challenges, with multiple fire alarm system installations and repairs between 2016 and 2021, though most recent fire safety violations were marked as corrected. Major plumbing and HVAC work has been undertaken in 2023-2024, including the installation of new boilers and water storage tanks, following a history of boiler-related violations and complaints dating back to 2013.

The property's maintenance history shows substantial renovation work over the years, including significant plumbing upgrades in 2016-2018 affecting multiple units, kitchen and bathroom remodels, and various interior repairs. However, there have been recurring issues with building systems and resident comfort, including historical problems with mold (2014), a fire incident causing smoke damage (2021), and various complaints about door security, heating systems, and general maintenance. Recent complaints filed in late 2023 suggest ongoing concerns with building maintenance and resident services, while multiple 311 calls in 2023-2024 indicate issues with street conditions and debris removal near the property. The building's ownership and management history shows periodic changes in focus, with significant investment in safety systems and unit upgrades, though recent violations suggest some maintenance challenges remain.

Risk rating

How 1135-1175 Steiner 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 167 buildings in this neighborhood, 150 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.

NOV rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building NOV rate across everything this owner manages — high rates signal pattern neglect.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 6.6%
Moderate concern 66.2%
Severe concern 27.2%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
