Initial analysis

Located in San Francisco's South of Market neighborhood, this two-unit residential building at 1161 Harrison Street was constructed in 1907 and features two stories. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most recent major upgrade being a water heater replacement completed in February 2022. Previous renovations included a bathroom remodel on the second floor unit in 2013, and comprehensive kitchen and bathroom work in Unit #1161A during 2007-2008, which involved upgrades to cabinets, plumbing, electrical systems, and the installation of new laundry facilities. The building received a new roof in 1994.

Recent municipal records from late 2024 indicate ongoing challenges in the immediate vicinity, with multiple reports of encampments, garbage, and debris on or near the property. In particular, there were several encampment incidents reported in November 2024 that required police intervention and citation enforcement. The area has also experienced recurring issues with garbage and debris, as documented in multiple 311 calls throughout October and November 2024. These external environmental challenges have been addressed by various city agencies, often requiring multiple interventions to resolve. While the building itself has received regular maintenance and upgrades over the years, particularly in the 2007-2013 period, the recent external issues primarily relate to street conditions and public space concerns rather than the building's structural or residential systems.

Risk rating

How 1161 Harrison 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
