Initial analysis

The 12-unit, three-story apartment building at 1050 Stanyan Street, owned by The Hilm Co, has undergone several significant safety and infrastructure improvements since its construction in 1910. Most recently, in 2023, the building received an upgraded fire alarm system to meet current fire code requirements, with work continuing through the installation of new fire panel components and low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas. In 2017, the building completed mandatory soft-story seismic retrofitting work, earning a Certificate of Final Completion. The property has seen regular maintenance and system upgrades, including the installation of a new gas furnace with air ducts in 2021 (Apartment #2), electric heater replacement in 2022 (Unit #3), and various electrical and plumbing improvements.

The building has experienced several maintenance and habitability issues over its history, with the most recent incident being a heat-related complaint in 2021 that was resolved in 2022. Historical violations from 2002-2003 included problems with plumbing/electrical systems and fire safety concerns, all of which were subsequently addressed. Earlier issues included kitchen floor damage in 1998, window repairs, and various routine safety inspections. The building's maintenance record shows consistent attention to safety requirements, with all identified violations having been resolved, though some permits from the 1990s show as expired. Recent 311 calls from 2024 have primarily concerned exterior issues such as graffiti and street cleaning matters, which are generally outside the building's direct management scope.

Risk rating

How 1050 Stanyan 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
