Initial analysis

The property at 1918-1922 Powell Street in North Beach is a 4-story, 3-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1906, currently owned by Patrick E Mccune 2020 Tr. The building has undergone several significant changes over the years, with a major kitchen remodel in 2012 including new cabinets, counters, and appliances, along with plumbing and electrical work. In 2018, there were filed permits for more extensive work, including the demolition of a private garage and the construction of a new 3-story, 2-unit residential structure, though the status of these permits remains listed as "Filed." The building experienced several safety violations in 2005, primarily related to fire safety issues such as smoke detector maintenance and fire escape equipment, though all were abated by April 2005.

Recent activity at the property has been minimal in terms of building modifications, though there have been multiple street cleaning-related service requests in 2024-2025, primarily concerning debris and waste on the streets surrounding the property. The building has a documented history of routine housing inspections, with the most recent records showing attention to maintenance issues such as peeling paint in 2012. Three fire-related incidents have been recorded, including one actual building fire (with no civilian injuries) and two false alarms. The property has undergone various permit applications over the years, including a 2002 proposal to demolish the existing building and construct a new 6-unit structure, and more recent discussions regarding parking and unit verification processes. Current planning records indicate some proposed changes are currently "Under Review," while others have been marked as "On Hold" pending compliance with Residential Design Guidelines.

Risk rating

How 1918-1922 Powell 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
85th percentile

Out of 362 buildings in this neighborhood, 54 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 age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Number of floors

Building height affects maintenance complexity and is one of the size signals the model uses.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 72.5%
Moderate concern 12.7%
Severe concern 14.8%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
