Initial analysis

The property at 1103 York Street in San Francisco's Inner Mission district is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1905, currently owned by Singh Makhan and Dhaliwal Har. The building's history reveals significant past concerns regarding illegal basement unit use, with multiple complaints filed between 2004 and 2009 documenting unauthorized living space conversions and occupancy violations, though these issues were ostensibly resolved through various permits in 2009 that legalized half-bath facilities and converted unauthorized living spaces to storage. More recently, the building has seen some positive improvements, including the installation of a solar panel system (6.8kW total rating) in 2022, and completed maintenance work such as reroofing in 2014.

The property has experienced recurring issues with garbage and debris management, particularly evident from multiple 311 calls throughout 2024, with at least ten documented incidents including reports of loose debris, yard waste, and even instances of human waste on nearby streets. An ongoing garbage-related case from January 2025 remains open as of the current report date. While the building's infrastructure appears to have received necessary attention, as evidenced by completed sewer line repairs and utility modifications between 2009-2009, the concentration of recent sanitation issues in the vicinity suggests ongoing challenges with street maintenance and waste management in the immediate area, though these external issues do not necessarily reflect conditions within the building itself. The most recent complaint-related activity on record pertains to a sewer pipe repair update from 2021, indicating that this particular infrastructure issue has been addressed.

Risk rating

How 1103 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.
