The building has undergone significant renovations over the past 15 years, with major work performed in 2011-2012 to comply with various housing inspection complaints, including bathroom remodeling, bedroom expansion, and extensive plumbing and electrical updates totaling approximately $130,500 in permitted work. More recent improvements include a $15,000 bathroom renovation in Unit 1023 in 2015, though this permit has since expired.

The building experienced several concerning issues between 2008-2012, including a significant plumbing-related fire incident in August 2008, multiple mold and mildew problems, security concerns, and various maintenance violations. Notable violations in 2002 included issues with ceilings, walls, windows, stairs, heating systems, and smoke detectors, though all were abated by November 2004. More recent construction work has been properly permitted and completed, with no active building violations on record since 2012. The property has maintained regular compliance with housing inspection requirements since addressing the 2008-2012 issues, with all recent permits showing proper completion and no recurring complaints about basic systems like heating, plumbing, or electrical.

Risk rating

How 1021-1023 York 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.
