Initial analysis

The 5-unit apartment building at 781 Corbett Ave in Twin Peaks, owned by the Yee Robert & Mary Trust, was constructed in 1955 and has undergone several significant renovations and faced various compliance issues over the years. Most notably, the building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017, achieving Tier 3 compliance. Major improvements in 2021 included kitchen relocations and bathroom remodels in multiple units (1, 2, and 4), though some associated permits expired. The building has experienced several safety and maintenance challenges, as evidenced by a series of building violations in 2018 that required attention to fire safety, lead compliance, and general maintenance, all of which were finally abated in 2021. These violations included issues with fire escape ladders, stair repairs, smoke enclosure doors, and lighting. Additional work has included a 2022 fire alarm system upgrade to meet current code requirements and window replacements.

Recent history shows ongoing maintenance efforts, with the most recent permitted work being a cancelled 2023 project for new fiber cement siding installation valued at $25,000. The building has a history of addressing various structural and safety concerns, including dry rot repairs to rear decks in 2018 and multiple fire alarm system modifications. While the building has faced several complaints and compliance challenges, particularly during the 2018 period, most issues have been addressed through subsequent repairs and upgrades. Recent records show no active building violations, and the most pressing recent maintenance issues appear to be related to exterior improvements and facade maintenance. Fire incident records indicate primarily false alarms and system malfunctions, with no reported injuries.

Risk rating

How 781 Corbett Ave'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
