Initial analysis

The property at 1131-1135 Cole Street is a three-story, four-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1906, currently owned by the Dante and Mary Giosso Family. The building underwent a horizontal addition in 1999, and while historical records show reroofing work was initiated in 1997, this permit expired without completion. The building has experienced several inspections and violations related to security requirements between 2002 and 2009, specifically concerning exterior door self-closing devices and interior entry door glazing reinforcement, all of which were ultimately resolved by August 2009. An annual inspection in 1994 recorded multiple safety concerns including egress obstruction, smoke detector issues, and security deficiencies, which were addressed by September 1997.

Recent activity around the property primarily involves street maintenance and parking enforcement issues. In 2023-2024, there have been multiple reports of illegal parking on sidewalks in the vicinity, along with several cases of sidewalk cleaning needs and debris removal. Notable infrastructure concerns include a collapsed sidewalk reported in November 2022, which was identified as a sunken utility vault issue. The building's permit and violation history suggests that while past security concerns were addressed, there have been no major building code violations or safety issues reported in recent years, with most current concerns relating to exterior maintenance and parking enforcement rather than structural or safety issues within the building itself.

Risk rating

How 1131-1135 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
48th percentile

Out of 526 buildings in this neighborhood, 274 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.

NOV rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building NOV rate across everything this owner manages — high rates signal pattern neglect.

Building age

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

Number of units

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 65.5%
Moderate concern 20.4%
Severe concern 14.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
