Initial analysis

The 3-unit multi-family residential building at 1094 Hollister Avenue, owned by Gwendolyn Mitchell, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over its history, with the most pressing concerns emerging in recent years. As of October 2024, there are active complaints regarding unpermitted units and water heater/pet policy violations, following a pattern of maintenance challenges that began to intensify in 2017 when multiple violations were documented, including issues with smoke detectors, floor coverings, bathroom ventilation, inoperable appliances, egress obstructions, water damage, damaged walls, and lead hazards. These violations, though officially abated in November 2017, coincided with complaints about roof leaks and water damage that had been ongoing since at least 2012, leading to concerns about mold development.

The building has a history of roofing issues, with repairs evidenced by permits from 1990 and multiple violations and complaints between 1997 and 2024 suggesting persistent problems. Notable work was performed in 2007-2008, including window removals and siding modifications, though there was a subsequent complaint about unauthorized siding and window work. Recent infrastructure concerns are evident, with multiple sewage backup incidents reported in late 2024. While the building has undergone various repairs and modifications over its lifetime, including a significant permit for stucco repair in 2007, the recurring nature of water-related issues and the recent complaints regarding unpermitted units suggest ongoing compliance and maintenance challenges. Parking enforcement issues in the surrounding area have also been documented, with multiple citations issued between November 2024 and December 2024.

Risk rating

How 1094 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.
