Initial analysis

The Herrera Family Trust's property at 1116-1118 Tennessee Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1900. The building has undergone several significant renovations and maintenance projects over the past two decades, with the most recent major work occurring in 2012, when an upper master bathroom was remodeled to include a shower booth and washer/dryer installation, with associated plumbing and electrical work totaling approximately $20,000. Earlier improvements included dry-rot repairs to the front entry stairs in 2010 ($500) and a series of permits in 2002-2003 related to stair replacement, foundation work, and curb cut installation totaling approximately $132,800, though there were some issues with expired permits during this period that resulted in a building complaint, which was promptly abated within one day.

The property has a record of various infrastructure and maintenance issues, including a sewage backup incident in July 2021, though this was resolved. The building's location has experienced recurring street cleaning and maintenance needs, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls between 2019 and 2025 regarding loose garbage and general cleaning requirements. There have also been three fire-related incidents recorded, all of which were false alarms or hazardous condition calls with no civilian injuries reported. While these events do not directly indicate building safety concerns, they suggest ongoing urban maintenance challenges in the surrounding area. The most recent activity related to the property was a 2025 parking enforcement call regarding driveway blocking, though the responding officer was unable to locate the offending vehicle.

Risk rating

How 1116-1118 Tennessee 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
39th percentile

Out of 74 buildings in this neighborhood, 45 are predicted to be safer.
