Initial analysis

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 970-974 Kansas Street in Potrero Hill, owned by Seven Hills Holdings LLC, is a three-story flats and duplex structure built in 1915. Historical permit records show completed work for dryrot repairs in 1996 and reroofing in 1989, while an attempted horizontal addition permit from 1992 expired without completion. The building has undergone three routine housing inspections between 2004 and 2008, though no significant issues were noted in the records.

The most recent activity at the property relates to several municipal service calls throughout 2024, primarily concerning street maintenance and public space issues rather than building-specific problems. These include reports of garbage and debris (three instances), a blocked sidewalk, a pavement defect (reported in November 2024, still open), and tree maintenance needs due to an overgrown tree blocking the sidewalk (reported September 2024, still open). There have also been two parking enforcement calls regarding illegal parking and a blocked driveway, including one case of a defaced parking sign that remains open as of November 2024. While these service calls indicate some ongoing maintenance and safety issues in the immediate vicinity of the building, they have primarily related to street and sidewalk conditions rather than the building's structural or habitability standards.

Risk rating

How 970-974 Kansas 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
26th percentile

Out of 726 buildings in this neighborhood, 537 are predicted to be safer.
