Initial analysis

1911 Baker Street is a three-story, two-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Pacific Heights neighborhood. Built in 1900, the property has undergone several significant renovations over the past two decades, with the most recent major work completed in 2020 involving garage renovations, including foundation work, electrical installations for lighting, and new plumbing fixtures totaling approximately $28,000. The building underwent a substantial transformation in 2015 with a $118,000 renovation of the first floor, encompassing kitchen and powder room replacement, interior reconfigurations, window replacements, and front facade improvements. The property was converted from three units to two in 2009, which involved removing the third-floor kitchen and creating an opening between the second and third floors, followed by several subsequent improvements including mandatory discretionary review and inspections.

The building has seen continuous maintenance and upgrades, including a comprehensive second-floor renovation in 2012 that added bedrooms, a bathroom, and laundry facilities, along with various infrastructure improvements such as voluntary ground floor strengthening in 2011. Earlier permits from the late 1990s and early 2000s show attention to structural maintenance, including termite/dry-rot repairs in 1999 and minor deck removal for garden enlargement in 2001. Regular housing inspections were conducted in 1999 and 2000, with no active complaints on record. The property has maintained compliance with all building regulations throughout its renovation history, with all major projects properly permitted and completed. The garage area has received particular attention in recent years, with multiple improvements to both functionality and safety, including electrical upgrades and new plumbing systems.

Risk rating

How 1911 Baker 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.
