Initial analysis

This two-story, 20-unit multi-family residential building located at 361 14th Street in the Inner Mission was built in 1924 and is currently owned by the Gobar Family Trust. The property has undergone several significant improvements and faced multiple regulatory challenges over recent years. Most notably, the building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2024, including revisions for larger foundations, which was a major structural safety upgrade. Recent improvements include window replacements (14 non-street facing windows in 2024, following earlier window replacements in 2011), and significant electrical upgrades including new 200-amp services and EV charging infrastructure in 2014-2015, along with solar panel installations in 2013-2014.

The building has experienced persistent challenges with maintenance and compliance requirements, as evidenced by multiple active violations from 2022 related to fire escape maintenance, common area inspections, and various compliance affidavits. There are also recent fire safety concerns, with violations for sleeping area requirements and sprinkler system maintenance issued in late 2023 and 2022 respectively. The building's history shows attention to various maintenance issues, including a documented problem with a leaky window, mold, and non-functional smoke alarms in 2009. Recent 311 calls in early 2025 indicate ongoing issues with exterior maintenance, particularly regarding graffiti and debris removal, though most of these cases have been resolved. The property has undergone periodic routine safety inspections and has addressed many historical violations, though some remain active as of 2023, including a recently noted violation for sleeping area requirements.

Risk rating

How 361 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.
