Initial analysis

The property at 167 11th Avenue is a two-unit, two-story residential building constructed in 1913, currently owned by John L & Patricia A Larson. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the years, with the most substantial recent work occurring in 2014 when seismic safety improvements were made, including bolting sill plates to the foundation and installing plywood shear strengthening in the garage, at a cost of $2,900. In 2011, a water monitoring meter was installed, though this permit has since expired. The property has a history of maintenance issues, most notably in September 2011 when multiple violations were documented, including problems with a leaking bathtub drain, damaged interior paint, and issues with the rear exit stairs and handrails. These violations were all abated by November 2011.

The building's maintenance record shows attention to basic upkeep, including reroofing work completed in 1999 and kitchen improvements from 2003 that included the installation of a dishwasher, disposal, and countertop replacement, along with associated electrical work. A significant complaint was filed in September 2011 detailing multiple concerns including issues with the back stairs, water leaks, lack of carbon monoxide detectors, and safety concerns regarding the garage area, though these were eventually addressed according to the records. More recent history shows minimal building complaints or violations, with only a parking-related incident recorded in 2021. The property appears to have maintained compliance with housing codes since the 2011 violations were resolved, with no new building violations on record.

Risk rating

How 167 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

Out of 660 buildings in this neighborhood, 330 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 80.2%
Moderate concern 15.4%
Severe concern 4.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
