Initial analysis

The two-unit, two-story residential building at 1175 York Street in the Inner Mission, owned by Robert Leslie Brockbank, has undergone significant renovations and faced various safety and maintenance issues since its 1906 construction. Most notably, in 2014-2019, the building rectified numerous violations related to safety concerns, including repairs to stairs, handrails, weatherproofing, siding, electrical systems, and plumbing. In 2020, substantial improvements were made including a new deck and exit stair, reroofing, siding replacement, kitchen and bathroom remodels, and comprehensive electrical upgrades to 200 amps with separate meters for each unit. The building's legal status as a two-unit structure was established in 2003, following prior complaints about unauthorized modifications.

Recent maintenance history shows consistent attention to building upkeep, with multiple completed permits for various improvements and repairs. There were some resident complaints in 2020 regarding construction practices and worker safety during the pandemic, as well as historical issues with mold, water damage, and tenants' modification of a back room in 2018. Multiple 311 calls from 2021-2024 primarily relate to street cleaning matters near the property. The building underwent significant remediation work in response to past violations, including addressing electrical system concerns, plumbing upgrades, and structural improvements, with all recent building permits listed as complete.

Risk rating

How 1175 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.
