Initial analysis

The 4-unit residential building at 1018-1022 Taraval Street in San Francisco's Parkside neighborhood, owned by Wing Hong & Polly H Siu Rev, dates back to 1923 and includes commercial space (Flat & Store 4 units or less). The property has undergone multiple significant maintenance and compliance updates over the years, with the most recent being gas leak repairs in August 2023 and a new grease trap installation in 2016. Historical records show several roof replacements (2012 and 2002) and an electrical service conversion to underground in 2006. The building has experienced some fire safety compliance issues, particularly in 2022 when multiple violations were noted regarding sprinkler systems, operating without a permit, and hood maintenance, though all were ultimately corrected. Similar fire safety concerns were documented in 2018 and 2015, including violations related to kitchen equipment and electrical hazards.

The property has maintained its commercial viability, transitioning from bakery to restaurant uses in the 1990s, with recent permits indicating continued operation as a limited restaurant. Building maintenance has included regular upkeep of critical systems, such as the fire suppression system (installed in 1991) and periodic roof work. Recent activity in late 2024 showed multiple reports of garbage and debris issues in the vicinity, though most were resolved by city services. The building's management has generally addressed infrastructure needs as they arise, with the most recent gas line repairs indicating ongoing attention to safety systems. Historical documents show the building was permitted for multiple commercial uses, including fast-food and bakery operations, and has maintained compliance with health and safety regulations following initial violations.

Risk rating

How 1018-1022 Taraval 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.
