Initial analysis

The multi-family residential building located at 983-987 14th Street in the Duboce Triangle neighborhood is a 2-story, 4-unit apartment structure built in 1906 and currently owned by Robert Bruce 2020 Trust. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past decades, with the most recent major updates occurring in 2020 when laundry facilities were added, including new plumbing and electrical work in the garage. Previous notable renovations include a deck replacement with code-compliant handrails in 2001, various kitchen and bathroom improvements in 1990-1996, and dry rot repairs in 1999.

The building's history includes three routine housing inspections (2002, 2006, and 2016), with some fire-related violations noted in 2002 regarding exit connections and garbage receptacle placement, though these were abated by August 2002. More recently, there have been two sewer-related incidents reported in 2022 and 2024, both of which were resolved by PUC Sewer Operations. The property has experienced several external issues in recent years, including graffiti (2022), defaced signage (2024), and multiple illegal postings (2020-2021). Two parking-related incidents were reported in 2024, including a driveway blocking issue and an abandoned vehicle report, neither of which were verified by enforcement officers.

Risk rating

How 983-987 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.

Neighborhood percentile
