Initial analysis

The 6-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 980-990 Florida Street in the Inner Mission, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Lee Thomas, has undergone several significant improvements and faced some challenges over its recent history. Notably, the building completed mandatory seismic retrofitting in 2017 at a cost of $80,000, achieving Tier 4 soft-story compliance with a Certificate of Final Completion issued. The property has experienced multiple fire safety concerns, with violations recorded in 2008 requiring attention to combustible storage, fire extinguisher installation, and other fire-related issues, though these were ultimately abated. A periodic health and safety inspection in February 2023 resulted in violations related to structural maintenance and self-certification requirements, which were also abated by March 2023.

The building has undergone various renovations, including a kitchen and bathroom remodel in 2005 (with associated electrical work), demonstrating ongoing maintenance efforts. A notable complaint in 2014 was received regarding hanging wires from windows, though this was resolved promptly. Recent activity at the property has primarily consisted of parking-related issues, with multiple citations for driveway blocking reported through 2024, indicating ongoing challenges with parking management in the area. The building's maintenance record shows a pattern of addressing violations and completing required safety improvements, though the frequency of parking enforcement calls suggests this remains a persistent issue in the vicinity.

Risk rating

How 980-990 Florida 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 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 1595 are predicted to be safer.
