Initial analysis

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 146 18th Avenue, owned by the Fukuda Revocable Trust, was constructed in 1913 in the Lake - The Presidio neighborhood. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the years, with the most recent being a roof replacement in December 2021 costing $8,000, which followed a previous re-roofing project in 2011. Between 2005-2007, substantial electrical work was completed, including a 200-amp service upgrade and the installation of numerous outlets, lights, and switches throughout various rooms, though some permits required renewal and extensions. The building's infrastructure maintenance appears consistent, with plumbing updates in 2007 for water heater and furnace installation.

Recent activity at the property has primarily consisted of parking-related issues, with multiple reports of driveway blocking incidents between 2021 and 2024, though many of these cases were either unable to be verified by responding officers or were found to be invalid complaints. A tree maintenance issue was reported in August 2024 regarding sidewalk damage caused by tree roots, which remains open as of the latest data. The building's permit history shows diligent attention to maintenance requirements, with most completed projects receiving proper follow-up inspections and renewals as necessary, including sidewalk repairs and various street space permits in the mid-2000s.

Risk rating

How 146 18Th 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
85th percentile

Out of 660 buildings in this neighborhood, 99 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.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

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 81.0%
Moderate concern 16.5%
Severe concern 2.5%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
