Initial analysis

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 1099 South Van Ness Avenue, owned by 1099 South Vn LLC, has undergone significant maintenance and improvements since 2018, including a comprehensive electrical upgrade to a 400-amp service, multiple unit renovations, and various plumbing improvements. Most notably, from 2020-2023, the property experienced several serious issues that resulted in building violations, including problems with windows, lighting, ceilings, walls, heating systems, and plumbing fixtures. These violations were primarily addressed through a major kitchen and bathroom remodel in Unit A completed in 2022, which complied with previous violations. The building also underwent important structural work in 2018, including foundation bolting and rear exterior stairs repairs, along with several plumbing updates, including the installation of a tankless water heater and new bathroom fixtures.

Recent concerns have emerged regarding construction activities at the property in late 2024, with complaints about unauthorized work and parking violations. The building has experienced multiple fire-related incidents, primarily involving false alarms and smoke detector activations, with two fire code violations documented in 2021 and 2024, though these appear to have been appropriately addressed. The property has maintained active engagement with housing and building regulations, though there were periods of significant maintenance issues in 2020-2021 that prompted multiple complaints and violations, which have since been resolved. Recent 311 calls from 2024 primarily relate to external issues such as graffiti, parking violations, and street cleaning concerns rather than building-specific problems.

Risk rating

How 1099 South Van Ness Ave'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.
