Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1110 Hollister Avenue in Bayview Heights is a two-story flats and duplex structure owned by Robert J. Donovan, dating back to 1909. The building's maintenance record shows several significant structural and safety improvements over the decades, including a foundation reinforcement project completed in 1984, a gas houseline extension with three meters installed in 2009, and a roofing project initiated in 1996 (though this permit has since expired). Most recently, in 2012, a street space permit was issued related to the property.

The property has experienced some recurring maintenance and quality of life issues in recent months, with numerous 311 calls logged between March and November 2024. These calls include reports of illegal parking (with multiple instances between March and April 2024), excessive noise (an open case from July 2024), and concerns about waste management, including toters being left out continuously (reported in May and March 2024). The building's exterior has faced challenges as well, with graffiti reported and subsequently addressed in November 2024, and issues with garbage and debris reported and resolved in the same month. A public record request regarding the property's ownership and housing inventory was processed and resolved in September 2024, with the records being updated and notifications sent to the new owner. While the building shows a history of proper maintenance through various permits over the years, the recent pattern of urban maintenance issues suggests ongoing challenges with keeping the property's immediate surroundings in order.

Risk rating

How 1110 Hollister Ave'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
56th percentile

Out of 54 buildings in this neighborhood, 24 are predicted to be safer.
