Initial analysis

The 6-unit multi-family residential building located at 742-748 14th Street in the Duboce Triangle, owned by King Residual Trust, is a 3-story structure built in 1900 with retail space on the ground floor. Recent maintenance and improvements include a roof replacement completed in 2019 at a cost of $28,500, installation of a new gas line for unit #2 following a leak in 2022, and plumbing work in 2021 to address water migration issues in the lightwell area. The building has undergone several significant changes in recent years, including a 2021 transition from medical services (speech, occupational, yoga) to a personal training center on the ground floor, with corresponding interior modifications. The property has experienced some maintenance challenges, with the most recent active complaint from June 2023 regarding an unpermitted gate installation, and a previous issue in April 2023 concerning fiberglass particles from the roof. Historical violations from 2002 included various safety concerns such as staircase repairs and fire extinguisher requirements, all of which were abated within a reasonable timeframe.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to essential systems, with electrical upgrades including a new main service panel in 2019 and complete rewiring of unit #2 in 2021. Other improvements include plumbing renovations in 2014 for bathrooms and ADA accessibility. The property has maintained compliance with building codes since addressing earlier violations, though recent 311 calls indicate ongoing challenges with street maintenance and debris removal in the vicinity, as evidenced by multiple reports of garbage and debris between January and December 2024. While these external issues don't directly impact the building's habitability, they reflect conditions in the immediate neighborhood. The property's planning records show proper documentation of use changes and improvements, with no active planning complaints or issues noted.

Risk rating

How 742-748 14Th 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.
