Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 1818-1822 Taylor Street in Russian Hill, owned by the Patrick V Barber Revocable Trust, was constructed in 1912 and has undergone several significant renovations over the years. Most notably, in 2006, extensive improvements were made to unit 1822 including kitchen and bathroom renovations, water heater replacement, and electrical upgrades (seven lights, two switches, ten receptacles, and five circuits). A fire sprinkler system was installed in 2003 on the ground floor, demonstrating an investment in safety infrastructure. However, there are some concerning active issues, particularly a lead paint violation from July 2017 that remains unresolved as of October 2023, which requires proper containment and notification procedures to address. The building has a history of various maintenance and compliance issues, including multiple fire-related violations in 2006 (such as the need for fire extinguishers, repair of exposed wiring, and proper coverage of sprinkler heads), though these were marked as not active and were presumably addressed. Three complaints were filed in 2002 regarding unauthorized construction of a roof deck and related ventilation issues, as well as 2003 complaints about unauthorized rooftop vent pipes, though these were all eventually resolved.

Recent activity around the building has primarily involved exterior maintenance and environmental concerns, including multiple street cleaning requests and tree maintenance issues. Three 311 calls were logged between 2018-2024 regarding sidewalk cleaning and tree concerns, with the most recent being a lead testing information request in July 2024. A routine housing inspection in 2006 revealed several compliance issues that were reportedly addressed by August 2006, including the need for fire extinguishers, a gas shutoff tool, repairs to exposed wiring, and sprinkler head maintenance. While the building has had its share of maintenance and compliance challenges, most historical violations have been resolved, though the continued presence of lead paint hazard issues is notable.

Risk rating

How 1818-1822 Taylor 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.
