Initial analysis

1060 Cole Street is a two-story, 10-unit apartment building constructed in 1904, currently owned by David Parker Prpts LLC. The property has undergone significant improvements in recent years, with major work completed on units #4 and #7 in mid-2023, including kitchen and bathroom renovations valued at $95,000. In 2023, the building completed mandatory safety upgrades such as a new fire alarm system and backflow device installation, following previous foundation improvements including a soft-story retrofit completed in 2021. The building's maintenance history shows attention to structural integrity and safety systems, with regular updates to plumbing and electrical systems, including a new steam boiler and hot water heaters installed in early 2023. While there have been several fire safety complaints recorded between 2018 and 2023, most were resolved with conditions corrected and no merit findings.

The building has experienced various maintenance and compliance issues over the years, including historical violations related to boiler permits in 2002, 2013, and 2015, though these were ultimately abated. Recent tenant concerns have primarily focused on construction management and parking during renovations, with complaints about contractor behavior and unauthorized vehicle parking in construction zones. The property has undergone substantial improvements to meet current safety standards, including a concrete foundation replacement and electrical system upgrades. Multiple 311 calls regarding the surrounding area have been recorded in 2024, primarily related to street cleaning and sidewalk conditions, though these are external to the building itself. The building's maintenance record suggests ongoing investment in property improvements, with all major building permits showing completed status and no active violations or complaints as of October 2023.

Risk rating

How 1060 Cole 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

Out of 526 buildings in this neighborhood, 484 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 34.4%
Moderate concern 50.9%
Severe concern 14.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
