Initial analysis

The property at 115 6th Avenue in the Lake-Presidio neighborhood is a two-story multi-family residential building owned by the Holter-Williams Trust and constructed in 1908. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most recent being a completed reroofing project in April 2024 costing $9,000. Major renovations in recent years include a 2021 master bathroom remodel with accompanying plumbing and electrical upgrades ($10,000), a substantial second-level deck replacement in 2015 ($25,000), and various interior improvements between 1986-2003 including bathroom, kitchen, and bedroom modifications. The building's infrastructure has been maintained with earlier records showing foundation repair and structural reinforcement work completed in 1990, along with historical records showing proper window replacements and various bathroom remodels.

Recent maintenance issues include an open sidewalk defect case from September 2024 involving tree root damage, and several parking-related incidents between 2022-2023 where vehicles were reported blocking driveways or parking on sidewalks, all of which were resolved through enforcement actions. A notable infrastructure issue occurred in February 2014 involving a sewer backup, though this was subsequently resolved by PUC Sewer Operations. The property has maintained regular upkeep through various permitted improvements and repairs over the decades, with particular attention to exterior maintenance including multiple roofing projects and deck improvements. The building's permit history suggests ongoing investment in maintaining and upgrading both the interior and exterior of the structure, with a focus on modernizing essential systems and maintaining structural integrity.

Risk rating

How 115 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
89th percentile

Out of 660 buildings in this neighborhood, 73 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.

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 86.8%
Moderate concern 9.7%
Severe concern 3.5%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
