Initial analysis

The 4-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 418 Austin Street in Lower Pacific Heights was constructed in 1909 and is currently owned by the Moxley Family Trust. The building has undergone several significant electrical upgrades over the past 15 years, including a major panel replacement and smoke detector installation in 2009-2010, which involved the installation of a new 125-amp 120/240v system, GFI outlets, and various safety improvements. Historical records show a lead paint removal incident in 2013 with improper containment, though this was reported and abated on the same day. The building's maintenance history includes kitchen cabinet replacement and garbage disposal installation in 1998, and an expired permit from 1985 for compliance upgrades.

Recent activity around the property has primarily involved street-related issues, particularly concerning parking violations and sidewalk maintenance, with multiple reports of various vehicles parking on sidewalks between 2022 and 2024. There was also a fire safety concern in 2009 regarding blocked exits, though this was promptly corrected on the same day. Planning records indicate some development activity in 2018-2019 involving both 418 Austin Street and adjacent properties, including a front/back lot split. The building has undergone routine housing inspections in 1999, 2001, and most recently in 2013, though no significant ongoing violations are currently noted. Recent 311 calls in 2023-2024 have primarily focused on external matters such as parking enforcement, street cleaning, and tree maintenance rather than building-specific issues.

Risk rating

How 418 Austin 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
