Initial analysis

The property at 907-913 Steiner Street is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building located in Alamo Square, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by the Mae V Gage 2015 Family Trust. The building's maintenance history shows several significant issues between 2016-2019, including multiple water damage incidents, ceiling problems, and interior surface damage. A series of violations in 2016 required repairs to ceilings, handrails, and various interior surfaces, with water damage being a recurring theme. More recent complaints from 2018-2022 indicate ongoing maintenance challenges, including plumbing issues such as faucet leaks, window problems allowing pest entry, and a broken window in 2022. The building's fire safety record shows both corrected violations and some concerns worth noting, including multiple fire extinguisher checks and issues with alarm systems in 2017 and 2018 (though recent October 2023 fire safety checks found no merit in complaints about exits, numbering, and extinguishers).

The property's permit history is quite limited, with only three permits on record: a sidewalk repair in 2004 (approximately $5,000), reroofing work in 1989, and a dry rot replacement project in 1988. A concerning pattern is evident in the most recent history of 311 calls for the property and surrounding area, particularly between 2024-2023, with multiple reports of garbage, debris, and cleanliness issues. While many of these recent complaints have been resolved, including instances of overflowing garbage cans and graffiti on street furniture, it suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance and surrounding cleanliness. The most recent calls involve excessive noise (open case as of October 2024) and multiple reports of garbage issues in September-October 2024, all of which have been resolved except for the noise complaint.

Risk rating

How 907-913 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.
