Initial analysis

The 5-unit, 2-story apartment building at 370 18th Avenue in the Central Richmond district, owned by Kuan Revocable Family Trust, has undergone several significant modifications and faced various challenges since its construction in 1971. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 at a cost of $100,000, achieving compliance with SFBC Chapter 4D and CEBCA Appendix A-4 requirements. The building experienced a kitchen fire in 2011 that necessitated repairs to Unit #4, including electrical work, plumbing modifications, and installation of new appliances, costing $32,000. Multiple fire safety concerns were documented in 2009, particularly regarding alarm systems, roof access, and extinguishers, though these were promptly corrected. A recent fire-related incident occurred in April 2023 with non-functioning elevators, which was resolved by the end of May 2023.

The property has a history of addressing safety and compliance issues, as evidenced by the resolution of several building violations in October 2002, including concerns about gas shutoff tools, egress obstruction, and security requirements. Recent developments in 2018 raised questions about construction permit validity and backyard parking modifications. A series of 311 calls in late 2024 through early 2025 indicate ongoing maintenance and compliance attention, primarily related to garbage and debris management outside the building. The building's fire incident records show multiple alarm activations and system checks, with no reported civilian injuries, suggesting regular monitoring of safety equipment.

Risk rating

How 370 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
46th percentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 1215 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 74.6%
Moderate concern 15.1%
Severe concern 10.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
