Initial analysis

1301 York Street is a two-story, 9-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1933, located in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood. The property has undergone several notable electrical upgrades, including a significant 2007 renovation involving the installation of a new 200-amp meter panel with 10 meters. The building has experienced recurring issues with its alarm system, with violations documented in 2023, 2019, 2015, 2011, and 2008, though all instances were eventually corrected or abated.

A comprehensive set of violations was identified during a 2003 routine inspection, including concerns related to fire safety, lead paint hazards, handrails, garbage receptacle maintenance, and fire proofing materials, all of which were resolved by February 2004. More recent building inspections in 2009 and 2010 were completed without apparent recurring issues. The property has generated multiple 311 calls between late 2024 and early 2025, primarily regarding street cleaning matters, though these appear to be external to the building itself. A significant recent complaint was filed in November 2023 regarding general maintenance, which was promptly resolved within a few days. The building's permit history is limited, with only one street space permit issued in 2015 for a nominal cost.

Risk rating

How 1301 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.

Neighborhood percentile
3th percentile

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 2309 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 14.2%
Moderate concern 81.1%
Severe concern 4.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
