Initial analysis

The 7-unit, 2-story apartment building at 12 Hill Street, owned by the Provenzano-maloney Trust and constructed in 1900, has experienced ongoing maintenance and renovation work, with some notable patterns emerging over the past two decades. Most recently, in late 2019, there was a significant renovation in Apartment 3, involving suspended ceiling removal, damage repairs, and electrical work, though this prompted complaints about construction work during the shelter-in-place order. The building has undergone regular maintenance of critical systems, including multiple electrical updates with new subpanels and rewiring projects in 2019 and 2015, plumbing upgrades including bathroom fixture replacements in 2016, and various structural improvements including foundation maintenance in 2012 and window replacements in compliance with safety codes.

The property has faced several challenges requiring intervention, with the most serious issues occurring in 2016 when multiple violations were recorded related to water damage, interior surfaces, and security concerns, though these were all abated by May 2016. Other historical complaints worth noting include a 2014 incident involving plumbing and pest issues, and a 2013 violation regarding lead paint handling. The building's maintenance history shows consistent attention to addressing violations and performing necessary repairs, with regular inspections and permit compliance. Recent building activity has primarily focused on individual unit improvements and systems upgrades, with no active violations or complaints as of the latest records, though there was one recent complaint about construction work during shelter-in-place in 2020 that was subsequently closed.

Risk rating

How 12 Hill 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.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 1163 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.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 29.3%
Moderate concern 35.2%
Severe concern 35.5%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
