Initial analysis

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 727 18th Avenue in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by Warren W & Helen F Lee Revo, has a documented history dating back to its construction in 1923. Recent significant maintenance includes a $15,000 reroofing project completed in 2020 and the replacement of a section of the main lateral plumbing line in October 2020, both of which indicate ongoing maintenance of the property's infrastructure. A concerning incident was reported in 2015 regarding a possible illegal unit within the building, though this complaint is currently listed as not active.

The property has experienced recurring issues with parking enforcement, particularly regarding driveway blocking, with four documented incidents between 2018 and 2021, though in three of these cases, enforcement officers were unable to locate the offending vehicles. Other maintenance and service matters recorded through 311 calls include a street cleaning issue in December 2023 that was resolved, a sidewalk repair permit from 2004, a general environmental health complaint in October 2015 that was transferred to DPH, and various utility-related services including a streetlight repair in 2012 and an abandoned vehicle complaint in 2011 that was resolved when the vehicle was gone upon inspection. While the building has required regular attention to address various maintenance and code compliance issues, the most recent major work appears to have been completed successfully with no current open permits or violations noted.

Risk rating

How 727 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

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 562 are predicted to be safer.
