Initial analysis

The property at 118-120 Holloway Avenue is a three-story, two-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1945, currently owned by Xu Jing. The building underwent significant renovations and improvements between 2011 and 2020, including the legalization of an additional dwelling unit in 2015 (at a cost of $30,000), comprehensive sprinkler system installations in 2019-2020 (totaling over $10,000), and various unit improvements such as kitchen and bathroom remodels, bedroom conversions, and bathroom additions across both units. Notable improvements include the installation of 107 sprinklers throughout the ground floor, a sprinkler monitoring system, and various electrical system upgrades including new breaker installations and fire safety equipment.

The building has a history of addressing safety concerns, most recently completing a comprehensive fire safety upgrade with the sprinkler system installation and monitoring. Two significant complaints were recorded in the building's history: a 2011 incident involving improper handling of asbestos-containing materials during heating ventilation maintenance (resolved within a week), and a 2001 report of various maintenance issues including gas leaks and electrical problems (also resolved). The property has experienced recurring issues with driveway blocking in recent months, with multiple parking enforcement calls between October 2023 and October 2024, though these parking violations are not directly related to the building's structural or safety systems.

Risk rating

How 118-120 Holloway 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.
