Initial analysis

The two-story multi-family residential building at 714 Steiner Street in Alamo Square, owned by the Leah Culver Revocable Trust, was constructed in 1900 and is part of the renowned "Postcard Row" collection. The property is currently undergoing significant rehabilitation work, with a major project filed in March 2021 that includes seismic upgrades, comprehensive interior renovations, relocation of a dwelling unit to the ground floor, construction of a one-story rear addition with deck, installation of new skylights and dormers, and reconstruction of front stairs and garage opening. This project, which requires a rear yard variance, is being meticulously prepared to conform with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties and is subject to the Historic Preservation Commission's Certificate of Appropriateness.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to basic upkeep, including a completed reroofing project in 2008 (cost: $19,000) and an earlier back stairs replacement in 1984. More recently, there has been a series of parking enforcement issues in 2024, with multiple reports of driveway blocking, though many cases resulted in officers being unable to locate the offending vehicles. Additional 2024 incidents included a noise complaint related to a major event venue and a graffiti case that was subsequently power washed by custodial staff. A previously filed Mills Act application was disapproved, and an informational project summary indicates further proposed improvements including rear facade alterations, new rear dormers, deck renovations, driveway modifications, and foundation work involving substantial soil removal.

Risk rating

How 714 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
93th percentile

Out of 305 buildings in this neighborhood, 21 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

Property class: single-family home

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 87.3%
Moderate concern 9.8%
Severe concern 2.9%
