These include fire alarm system upgrades to comply with current fire codes ($37,145), kitchen and bathroom remodels in five units (Units 1, 2, 3, 4, and 25), and replacement of 25 windows on the side and back elevations.

The building has also successfully completed mandatory seismic soft-story retrofit work, achieving "Work Complete, CFC Issued" status.

Safety improvements continue to be a priority, with three open fire code violations as of 2024, including issues with the alarm system, sleeping area requirements, and an ERRCS permit requirement. Historical violations from 1999-2000 included various safety issues that were promptly addressed, including smoke detector repairs, fire extinguisher maintenance, and boiler repairs. Recent maintenance activities have included electrical upgrades, such as subpanel replacements in multiple units (2024), and plumbing work including kitchen and bathroom remodels in various units. Several routine housing inspections have been conducted over the years, revealing various issues including pest control, window repairs, and building maintenance needs, all of which have been addressed. The building's location has experienced typical urban challenges as evidenced by recent 311 calls regarding encampments and graffiti, though these are not directly related to the building's condition or management.

Risk rating

How 375 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.
