Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 106-108 19th Avenue, owned by the Sklar Family Living Trust, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1906 in the Lake -- The Presidio neighborhood. The property underwent significant renovations in 2013-2014, including a major second-floor remodel costing $58,000 that involved removing a kitchen wall, adding new bathroom facilities, and making various other improvements, accompanied by comprehensive plumbing and electrical work. These renovations led to at least one building complaint in September 2013 regarding construction noise during odd hours, though this issue appears to have been addressed.

The building has experienced two fire incidents on record, including a false alarm and a minor equipment-related fire, though neither resulted in civilian injuries. More recently, there have been numerous 311 calls related to the property and its immediate vicinity throughout 2023-2024, primarily concerning parking issues (including vehicles blocking driveways and parking on sidewalks), street lighting problems, and general cleaning matters. While these calls indicate some ongoing neighborhood challenges, they appear to be external to the building itself. The most serious recent concern was a noise complaint filed in May 2024, though the specific source was not detailed. The frequency of parking enforcement calls suggests a persistent issue with illegal parking in the area, while the two street cleaning complaints indicate occasional issues with loose garbage in the vicinity, though these were described as "nothing found" and were resolved.

Risk rating

How 106-108 19Th 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
95th percentile

Out of 660 buildings in this neighborhood, 33 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 16.1%
Severe concern 2.9%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
