Initial analysis

The 7-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 1334-1336 Willard Street in the Parnassus/Ashbury Heights neighborhood was constructed in 1910 and has undergone several significant improvements over recent decades. Most notably, in 2015 the building completed mandatory soft-story seismic improvements costing $22,500, which included wall strengthening at the garage/storage level with steel framing and plywood sheathing. The building has shown ongoing commitment to maintenance and modernization, including a new furnace installation in late 2016 ($6,000), electrical upgrades in 2019 including a new sub-panel and bathroom exhaust fan, and various plumbing updates. Historical maintenance records reveal attention to structural integrity and safety, with past repairs including staircase dry rot remediation (2011), reroofing (1991), and termite remediation with post piers installation (1986).

The building has had three routine housing inspections (1999, 2007, 2011) and the most recent one in 2023, which is currently active as of March 2023. These inspections in 2007 and 2011 resulted in several violations related to security and fire safety, including requirements for primary locking devices at exterior doors, self-closing devices, and combustible storage concerns, though all were abated by August 2012. The property has maintained compliance with the soft-story retrofit program (classified as Tier 3, Work Complete, CFC Issued) and continues to undergo regular inspections. Recent activity (2024) has primarily consisted of external municipal service requests related to transportation engineering and street maintenance, with three open cases as of October 2024 regarding transportation services, and a closed case for an overgrown tree blocking signs. The most recent service requests have not directly related to building conditions or tenant concerns.

Risk rating

How 1334-1336 Willard 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.
