Initial analysis

The property at 1324-1326 18th Avenue is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood, constructed in 1910 and classified as a Flats & Duplex. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and infrastructure updates over the years, most notably a sewer line replacement in October 2020 that extended from the housetrap sidewalk to the building's foundation. A roof replacement project was completed in June 2009 at a cost of $6,000, though this work initially generated some controversy when a complaint was filed in June 2009 regarding construction without proper permits, leading to a Notice of Violation being issued. The violation was promptly addressed and abated within two weeks of filing. In 2012, there was work done to extend the gas houselines for both meters at 1324 and 1326 18th Avenue, though this permit has since expired.

The building's recorded history shows regular maintenance and infrastructure updates, with the most recent major work being the 2020 sewer line replacement. One minor incident of note occurred in April 2018, when a report of an abandoned vehicle was filed near the property, but this was resolved quickly when the vehicle was no longer present upon inspection the following day. The property's permit history indicates that while the 2009 roofing work initially encountered permit compliance issues, these were resolved and no subsequent building violations or complaints have been recorded regarding unpermitted work.

Risk rating

How 1324-1326 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
52th percentile

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 717 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.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

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 76.0%
Moderate concern 17.8%
Severe concern 6.2%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
