Initial analysis

The 9-unit apartment building at 190 11th Avenue in the Lake-Presidio neighborhood, owned by the Robert D Link Revocable Trust, has undergone significant safety improvements and maintenance work since its construction in 1927. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2014-2015, incorporating new shearwalls and moment frames to improve seismic safety. Recent fire safety upgrades include the installation of a sprinkler monitoring system in 2021, sleeping unit notification devices in 2020, and the addition of an ADU with its own fire sprinkler system in 2019. The building has maintained active compliance with boiler and heating system requirements, though there have been periodic issues requiring attention, including multiple complaints and permit renewals between 2015 and 2019 regarding boiler operation permits and related equipment.

The property has experienced some recent infrastructure challenges, including sewage backup incidents in November 2024 and a missing side sewer vent cover reported in the same period. While there have been various building complaints and violations recorded between 2002 and 2019, all have been properly addressed and closed, with the most recent violations primarily related to fire safety equipment and garbage handling. Regular maintenance work has included plumbing system upgrades, kitchen remodels, and roofing work. The building's management has generally responded promptly to safety concerns, as evidenced by the "Condition Corrected" disposition for recent fire complaints in 2023 and 2024. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to parking issues and street maintenance rather than building-specific concerns, suggesting that exterior maintenance and neighborhood management are being adequately addressed.

Risk rating

How 190 11Th 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
