Initial analysis

1110 South Van Ness Avenue is a three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by 1110 Van Ness Avenue LLC. The building underwent significant improvements in recent years, with major safety upgrades including a fire alarm system retrofit completed in 2023 at a cost of $26,657 to comply with current fire codes, and window replacement work completed in 2024. In 2015, the property underwent substantial modernization, including the legalization of the sixth unit, installation of a fire sprinkler system in the ground floor and garage areas, and comprehensive electrical upgrades across all units. Historical records show past maintenance challenges, with multiple housing violations recorded in 2004 related to fire safety, egress, and alarm systems, though these were all successfully abated by October 2004.

More recent tenant complaints indicate ongoing maintenance issues, including a 2024 complaint regarding worn flooring and lifted floorboards, and a 2011 complaint documenting multiple deferred maintenance issues including plumbing and electrical concerns. The building's systems have been regularly updated, with recent work including furnace and water heater installations, electrical system improvements, and various unit renovations. The property has experienced recurring issues with driveway parking violations, with multiple instances reported between 2018-2021, though these are not directly related to building conditions. While the building has a history of some maintenance challenges, recent improvements suggest active management of the property's systems and safety requirements.

Risk rating

How 1110 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

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 1880 are predicted to be safer.
