Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 111 Germania Street in Hayes Valley is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1900, currently owned by Reinhard & Kelly Behrens. The property has undergone significant improvements in recent years, with the most substantial work occurring between 2013-2015, including a comprehensive kitchen and bathroom remodel on the second floor ($40,000), installation of skylights, and construction of a new balcony deck. The building's infrastructure has also seen major upgrades, with the installation of two tankless water heaters, a complete gas line system overhaul, and various plumbing improvements including a direct vent gas stove in 2024. Maintenance and safety features, including reroofing work in 1997 and front post repairs in 1985, demonstrate ongoing stewardship of the property's structural integrity.

Recent activity in the vicinity of the property has included several 311 calls related to street cleaning, with the most notable recent cases occurring in 2023 involving hazardous materials and general garbage. While these exterior maintenance issues do not directly impact the building's habitability, they provide context about the immediate neighborhood environment. The most recent significant improvements to the unit's interior systems include the installation of a new fireplace and gas line upgrades in 2024, indicating continued investment in the property's infrastructure. The building's permit history shows a pattern of systematic upgrades and maintenance, with all major renovation work being properly permitted and completed according to records, suggesting responsible property management.

Risk rating

How 111 Germania 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

Out of 1027 buildings in this neighborhood, 288 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.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

DBI complaint rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building complaint rate across the owner's portfolio.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 83.7%
Moderate concern 9.4%
Severe concern 6.9%
