Initial analysis

The 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 1077-1087 Natoma Street in the South of Market neighborhood, built in 1907, has undergone significant improvements in recent years under the ownership of Natoma Ls Llc. Most notably, the building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 (classified as Tier 3) at a cost of $60,000, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements. The property has seen substantial apartment unit upgrades between 2015 and 2019, including kitchen and bathroom remodels in multiple units with associated electrical and plumbing improvements, new fixtures, appliances, and the addition of in-unit laundry facilities. The building's systems have received attention with electrical panel upgrades, code compliance improvements, and various maintenance work.

Recent maintenance and safety history shows a combination of routine inspections and prompt responses to issues. While there were some violations in 2003 related to fire safety equipment and egress access, these were all resolved by January 2004. More recent 311 calls (2024-2025) have primarily concerned external issues such as garbage, debris, and noise, which are typically associated with urban environments. The building has experienced several fire alarm activations and system malfunctions, though no significant fire incidents or civilian injuries have been recorded. Two past fire complaints in 2011 and 2012 regarding blocked exits and combustible materials were resolved with conditions corrected. A tenant buyout was executed at an adjacent address (1073 Natoma Street) in 2016 for $27,093.75.

Risk rating

How 1077-1087 Natoma 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 430 buildings in this neighborhood, 254 are predicted to be safer.
