Initial analysis

The 30-unit apartment building at 1065 South Van Ness Avenue, built in 1966, is a 3-story multi-family residential structure currently owned by 1065 South Van Ness LLC. The building has undergone several significant safety upgrades in recent years, including a $50,637 fire alarm system improvement in early 2024 to install new low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas, and an emergency sewer repair in August 2023. The property completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2015, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements. Recent fire safety violations from 2023 relating to sleeping area requirements and alarm system maintenance have been abated, though the building experienced technical issues with its fire alarm system in late 2023 and early 2024.

The building has a documented history of maintenance and safety concerns, particularly relating to water damage and building envelope issues. Multiple permits from 2003-2005 addressed dry rot, window replacement, and framing repairs, suggesting past problems with building envelope integrity. In 2016, multiple violations were recorded and subsequently abated, including issues with water damage, fire escape maintenance, and carbon monoxide alarms. More recent complaints include one from August 2023 regarding unauthorized construction causing toxic fumes, though this was quickly addressed. The property has experienced recurring issues with window leaks during rains, as documented in multiple complaints between 2004-2009. Driveway access has been a consistent concern, with numerous parking enforcement calls in late 2024-early 2025.

Risk rating

How 1065 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.

Neighborhood percentile
6th percentile

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 2237 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 11.2%
Moderate concern 49.8%
Severe concern 39.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
