Initial analysis

The property at 1376-1378 Natoma Street is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1906, currently owned by Shabbir Zain K. The building underwent significant modernization and safety improvements between 2019-2023, including the installation of a comprehensive fire sprinkler system throughout the building ($30,000), new fire alarm monitoring system ($6,900), and various electrical upgrades comprising new services for each unit and 400-amp service upgrade ($60,000 total). The owner completed substantial renovations including the addition of a basement unit, bathroom modifications, and roof deck accessibility improvements, though these works generated some community concern due to early morning construction activities in 2019.

The building experienced several safety-related issues in 2018 related to fire safety and occupancy, leading to violation notices that were ultimately resolved by August 2018. Recent building maintenance includes waterproofing work on the roof access stairs completed in 2023. While there have been multiple fire alarm incidents recorded (all determined to be false activations or malfunctions), no actual fire incidents or civilian injuries have been reported. The property has experienced ongoing challenges with street cleanliness, as evidenced by numerous 311 calls in 2024 regarding garbage and debris, including multiple reports of human waste or urine that were resolved through city services.

Risk rating

How 1376-1378 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.
