Initial analysis

The 6-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 1215 11th Ave in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood, owned by Steven Vickers, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1971. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory seismic soft-story retrofit in 2015 (Tier 3) at a cost of $75,000, addressing important safety requirements under SFBC Chapter 34B. Other recent major improvements include a comprehensive sewer and house trap replacement completed in April 2023, and the installation of 18 energy-efficient vinyl windows in 2010, featuring double-pane construction with a U-factor of .30.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to both safety and comfort improvements, with kitchen cabinet upgrades in 2007 and exterior improvements including aluminum siding installation and reroofing work completed in 1996. The property experienced multiple violations in May 2001 related to fire safety systems, including issues with fire extinguishers, the central alarm system, smoke enclosure doors, fire proofing, and hot water heater exhaust vent pipes - all of which were promptly addressed by June 2001. A kitchen remodel without proper permitting was identified and resolved in October 2007, and a routine housing inspection in September 2010 resulted in some noted concerns that were subsequently addressed. The building's infrastructure upgrades and prompt response to violations suggest active management, with no recent open violations or complaints on record.

Risk rating

How 1215 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 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 1120 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.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

Neighborhood location

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 45.5%
Moderate concern 11.5%
Severe concern 43.0%
