Initial analysis

The property at 1028-1032 Cole Street is a three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building located in the Parnassus/Ashbury Heights neighborhood. Built in 1905, this flats and duplex-style building has undergone several significant maintenance and safety updates over the years. Most recently, in October 2024, the electrical panel was replaced, representing the latest infrastructure improvement. Historical records show that roofing work was performed in 1995, and in 1988, there were safety improvements related to the furnace room, including the installation of fire-rated doors.

The building has a documented history of compliance issues and necessary corrections, particularly regarding lead paint hazards. In 2006, violations were recorded concerning lead paint, damaged paint, door replacement, and exterior trim issues, all of which were abated by May 2007. A subsequent routine inspection in 2011 revealed several safety concerns, including combustible storage, smoke detector requirements, and gas utility shutoff needs, which were addressed by July 2011. The property has maintained active monitoring through regular housing inspections, with the last documented violation being resolved in 2011. Recent activity at the property has primarily involved parking-related issues, with multiple complaints throughout 2024 regarding vehicles blocking driveways, though these are primarily street-related matters rather than building-specific concerns. A general street cleaning complaint from December 2023 indicated no specific issues were found.

Risk rating

How 1028-1032 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, 352 are predicted to be safer.
