Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 18-20 Delgado Place in Russian Hill, owned by Sabahi Fmly Tr, is a two-story flats and duplex structure dating back to 1910. The building has undergone several significant infrastructure improvements over the past few decades, including a major electrical service upgrade in 2013 that involved installing a 125-amp service, three gang meter section, three 60-amp circuit breaker panels, and a new grounding system. Two roofing projects are documented, with a 2009 reroofing costing $8,200 and an earlier 1992 permit that has since expired. A notable housing complaint from December 2001 reported concerns about water accumulation and potential mosquito issues related to buckets on the roof, though this complaint was promptly abated within four days.

The property's most recent history shows a pattern of parking-related incidents, with multiple reports of vehicles blocking driveways between 2022 and 2024. There have been at least eight documented cases of parking violations, with several resulting in citations or addresses being given to violators. Notably, there were multiple incidents of blocked driveways in late 2022, including two separate incidents on November 25 involving a Lexus RX450h and other vehicles. More recent incidents include two reports of abandoned vehicles in late 2023 and late 2024, though in both cases, the vehicles were gone upon officers' arrival. While these parking issues indicate ongoing challenges in the immediate area, they are external to the building itself and primarily relate to street-level management.

Risk rating

How 18-20 Delgado Pl'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.
