Initial analysis

1341 Valencia Street is a 32-unit, three-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1904, currently owned by Murphy San Francisco LP. The property has undergone several significant improvements and faced various challenges over the past decades. Most notably, a mandatory soft-story retrofit was completed in 2019 at a cost of $150,000, bringing the building into compliance with seismic safety requirements. The building has experienced recurring fire safety concerns, with violations for alarm system maintenance in 2015, 2019, and most recently in November 2023 related to sleeping area requirements. Recent tenant complaints indicate ongoing maintenance issues, including a December 2024 heat outage and a documented cockroach infestation in October 2023, which management allegedly failed to properly address.

The building's maintenance history shows both completed repairs and some withdrawn permit applications, such as a proposed addition of two new units in 2018. Historical violations from 2000 included multiple interior and security issues, all of which were abated by August 2000. Recent 311 calls from late 2024 through early 2025 have primarily concerned external issues like garbage, debris, and sidewalk maintenance. The property has an established routine inspection history, though some violations remain in various stages of resolution, including recent fire safety-related citations. While the building has experienced periodic maintenance and safety issues, many past violations have been resolved through proper channels, including a significant focus on seismic retrofitting and fire safety improvements in recent years.

Risk rating

How 1341 Valencia 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.
