Initial analysis

The Clark Family Trust owns this classic three-story, two-unit multi-family residential building located at 136 6th Ave in the Lake-The Presidio neighborhood, which was constructed in 1907. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the past four decades, with the most recent being a reroofing project completed in 2017 at a cost of $5,000. Historical records show regular upkeep of the property, including a kitchen renovation in 1992 (countertops, appliances, and plumbing), bathroom and bedroom remodel in 1987, and multiple roof maintenance projects in 1993 and 2017. A fire alarm system issue was reported and resolved in September 2005, with the condition corrected within three weeks.

Recent activity at the property has primarily involved parking-related issues, with multiple enforcement calls in 2024 regarding illegal parking and sidewalk violations. Between July and September 2024, there were at least seven reported incidents of illegal parking, with varying results including citations issued, officers unable to locate the violation, and one case where the issue could not be validated. Additionally, there was one public works general request in July 2024 that was resolved following a site inspection. A 2023 incident involving an abandoned vehicle resulted in towing due to outstanding tickets. The building's maintenance history suggests regular upkeep by the owners, with no recorded violations or urgent safety concerns in recent years, though the frequency of parking-related incidents in the immediate vicinity may be worth monitoring.

Risk rating

How 136 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
72th percentile

Out of 660 buildings in this neighborhood, 185 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.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 83.1%
Moderate concern 12.3%
Severe concern 4.5%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
