Initial analysis

The two-unit, two-story residential building at 1318 6th Avenue in the Inner Sunset, owned by Joanne Stanley Bypass Trust, was constructed in 1908 and has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the years. The property has experienced recurring sewer issues, with the most recent complaint from January 2000 about sewage overflowing into the garage still appearing as active, along with multiple documented sewage backup incidents through 2014-2017. The building's infrastructure has seen various upgrades, including foundation reinforcement with anchor bolts and metal straps in 1989, complete reroofing in 1988, and electrical system modernization with conversion to underground service in 2003. Plumbing improvements include a sewer line replacement completed in 2011. The property has faced residential comfort issues in the past, with heating complaints filed in 2001 and window glazing problems in 2008, though all were resolved relatively quickly.

Recent maintenance and service records show a pattern of infrastructure upkeep and response to neighborhood concerns. The most recent building permit from 2018 was for street space usage. Area maintenance issues have included several 311 calls in 2024 for garbage and debris, an August 2023 report of a sidewalk defect, and multiple reports of parking violations in 2018. The property has historically required attention to both plumbing systems and general building maintenance, with records showing responsive actions to various infrastructure needs. While many historical issues have been resolved, including significant repairs in the late 1980s and early 2000s, the persistent nature of some plumbing problems suggests this remains a notable aspect of the building's history. Most recent concerns have been more related to external factors such as street maintenance and parking enforcement rather than internal building issues.

Risk rating

How 1318 6Th 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, 537 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.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 77.7%
Moderate concern 14.6%
Severe concern 7.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
