Initial analysis

The property at 119-121 6th Avenue, a two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1905 in the Lake - Presidio neighborhood, has undergone substantial renovations and improvements over the past decade. Most recently, in 2023, the building received significant upgrades including a comprehensive renovation of the second-floor unit ($250,000), kitchen remodels, bathroom improvements, and the installation of modern electrical systems including a new 100A subpanel and extensive electrical fixture updates. The plumbing systems have also seen recent improvements, with work completed in December 2023 including fireplace replacement and kitchen remodeling, along with a central heater relocation in September 2023.

The building has a history of regular maintenance and updates, including insulation installation and window replacements in 2017, and major system upgrades including a 200A electrical service upgrade in 2017. Notable structural improvements were made in 2007 with the replacement of wood posts in the garage with steel beams, enhancing the building's stability. While there have been some historical concerns, such as a 1996 complaint about heating issues and mildew in an addition, and a 2017 complaint about unpermitted work, these appear to have been addressed. The property has experienced periodic sewer issues, with three reported incidents between 2021 and 2017, though all were resolved according to records. Recent infrastructure challenges in the vicinity include sidewalk and pavement defects near tree roots, as evidenced by 2024 reports, and a small cluster of 311 calls related to parking issues and tree maintenance.

Risk rating

How 119-121 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

Out of 660 buildings in this neighborhood, 7 are predicted to be safer.
