Initial analysis

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 1080-1084 South Van Ness Avenue, constructed in 1895, has undergone significant renovations and improvements between 2014 and 2018. Major work completed in 2015 included comprehensive interior remodeling of all units, involving new bathrooms, kitchens, electrical systems, and sheetrock replacement, with costs exceeding $400,000. This work followed a 2014 structural reinforcement project that installed new concrete walls and moment frames for improved seismic safety. The building has seen consistent maintenance and upgrading efforts, including window replacements, furnace installations, and electrical system upgrades, with a new 400-amp service panel installed in 2014.

Several notable incidents and compliance issues have occurred, though most are now resolved. In 2018, there were complaints about unpermitted pressure washing of the building's exterior. In 2015, there was a sewage leak incident that was quickly addressed. Multiple violations were recorded between 2004 and 2012, including issues with fire safety, stairs, heat, ceilings, and security, but these were abated by 2014. A tenant buyout occurred in July 2015 involving $310,000 compensation for three tenants. The property has had various maintenance-related service requests in recent years, including graffiti removal and garbage overflow issues, with the most recent incidents recorded between 2022 and 2024 involving street cleaning and parking violations.

Risk rating

How 1080-1084 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.
