AI summary

The two-story, 8-unit multi-family residential building at 1161 Stanyan St, owned by Eldredge Family Trust since 2009, has a recorded history dating back to 1900. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and safety-related projects over the years, including a completed reroofing in 2012 ($19,500), temporary shoring work in 2013 ($96,000), and an attempted soft-story retrofit in 2016 (permit withdrawn). Historical records from 1988-1989 show completion of interior improvements addressing dry rot and termite damage, as well as bathroom fixture and kitchen appliance updates. A notable cluster of fire safety violations was recorded in March 2005, involving fire extinguisher maintenance and fire escape ladder repairs, all of which were abated within a month.

Recent building inspections include a routine inspection in March 2023, though no specific violations were noted. The property has experienced some infrastructure challenges in 2023, with reports of a collapsed sidewalk (June 2023) and hazardous materials (liquids) on-site (December 2023), both of which were resolved. The area around the building has seen various municipal service calls, including reports of illegal postings, sign defacement, and parking violations within the vicinity, though these are external issues not directly related to the building's management or condition. The most recent building-related issues appear to be primarily centered around exterior infrastructure rather than internal building systems or safety concerns.

Risk rating

How 1161 Stanyan 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, 458 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.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 49.8%
Moderate concern 30.4%
Severe concern 19.8%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
