Initial analysis

This two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 61-63 6th Avenue in the Lake-Presidio neighborhood was constructed in 1906 and is currently owned by the Laurens Real Estate Trust. The property has undergone several significant improvements and maintenance work over the years, with the most recent notable activity being a furnace replacement and plumbing work completed in April 2021, following an earlier water heater replacement in 2017. A major proposed project is currently under consideration, involving an interior gut remodel, conversion of space to a one-car garage, and various system upgrades, though this remains in the planning stage as of October 2023.

The building has a documented history of routine housing inspections, with several violations noted in 2004 regarding fire safety equipment (smoke detectors and fire extinguishers) - all of which were promptly abated by May 2005. Other completed improvements include a rear deck repair in 2012, hardwood floor installation in 2000, and reroofing work in 1995. There was one carbon monoxide detector activation incident in 2021 with no CO detected and no civilian injuries reported. Recent concerns primarily relate to parking issues, with multiple complaints about driveway blocking between 2022 and 2024, though these are external to the building's condition or safety. Outside of these matters, there have been no significant violations or complaints that would indicate ongoing concerns about the building's habitability or safety.

Risk rating

How 61-63 6Th Ave'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
76th percentile

Out of 660 buildings in this neighborhood, 158 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.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 83.6%
Moderate concern 12.6%
Severe concern 3.9%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
