Initial analysis

The property at 1378 19th Avenue is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Vikram Singh Haer. The building underwent several significant improvements over the past decade, including a sewer lateral replacement in 2023, window replacements in 2016 (involving four wood windows with Ogee lugs), and a gas houseline extension in 2013. In 2014, there was a documented complaint about complete water loss affecting both units, though this issue appears to have been resolved. Additionally, there was an administrative permit processed in 2014 confirming the building's two-unit classification per city records.

Recent activity around the property has primarily involved external municipal maintenance issues rather than building-specific concerns. The most significant cluster of recent incidents occurred in 2024-2025, including ongoing encampment issues, street lighting problems, and various sanitation matters such as garbage removal and graffiti cleanup. Notably, there were cluster of graffiti incidents in 2023-2024 involving city property and infrastructure. Earlier planning records (now closed) indicate previous proposals for development, including plans for additional units and garage spaces, though these appear to have been resolved without proceeding to construction. While the building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep of critical systems like plumbing and windows, the recent increase in surrounding area service requests suggests some challenges in the immediate neighborhood environment, though these are primarily city service matters rather than building-specific issues.

Risk rating

How 1378 19Th 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
61th percentile

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 582 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.

Neighborhood location

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 71.4%
Moderate concern 23.6%
Severe concern 5.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
