Initial analysis

This three-story, nine-unit multi-family residential building located at 120 Webster St in Hayes Valley, owned by Robert R. Bohanan, has undergone several significant safety system upgrades in recent years, with a particular focus on fire safety. Between 2020 and 2021, the building received comprehensive fire alarm system upgrades, including the installation of new low-frequency sounders in every unit, replacement of the fire alarm system in this non-sprinklered building, and the addition of smoke detectors in third and roof levels. Multiple fire safety violations were documented and subsequently corrected, including issues with alarm systems, blocked exits, and exit maintenance, with the most recent fire complaint in October 2024 being marked as "Condition Corrected." The building has a history of addressing maintenance and safety issues promptly, as evidenced by the quick resolution of a 2004 window repair violation and more recent common area issues identified in February 2023, which were abated by April 2023.

The building has experienced recurring issues with garbage and debris management in the surrounding area, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls between 2022 and 2024, though these are primarily street-level concerns rather than building-specific problems. Several historical complaints from the early 2000s indicated various maintenance issues, including water damage, plumbing problems, and a period of garbage overflow concerns that affected neighboring properties. The building underwent reroofing in 2005, and more recent permits indicate regular maintenance of fire safety systems. A building verification letter for zoning was requested and closed in 2024, indicating continued compliance with local regulations. While the property has experienced various violations and complaints over the years, most have been addressed promptly, particularly more recent fire safety concerns, suggesting improved management practices in recent years.

Risk rating

How 120 Webster 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
