Initial analysis

This three-unit, single-story multi-family residential building located at 514 Hill St in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood was built in 1900 and is currently owned by the Paul Weber Revocable Trust. The property has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, including a roof replacement in 2018 costing $25,800 and the installation of a Tesla wall connector in 2019. The building's electrical system saw major upgrades in 2005 with a 200-amp underground conversion. Historical maintenance records show attention to structural issues, with dry rot repairs completed on both the east and west sides of the building in 1997, and earlier work including trim replacement and painting in 1990.

The building has experienced multiple compliance issues in the early 2000s, including a series of violations in January 2003 related to heating system failures, damaged interior surfaces, window repairs, and plumbing issues, as well as safety-related violations in December 2000 regarding egress obstruction and gas meter instructions. However, all these violations were officially abated by January 2001. More recent inspections in 2006 and 2011 found no violations. Current concerns include a recently reported sidewalk defect due to tree root lifting (June 2024), which is still open, and an older tree-related property damage report from 2017. The building had occasional maintenance issues in the early 2000s, including problems with electric heaters, moisture issues, and basement mold, all of which were resolved at the time. Recent maintenance history suggests better building upkeep, with no similar complaints in the past decade.

Risk rating

How 514 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
