Initial analysis

This two-unit multi-family residential building, located at 1415 18th Avenue in the Inner Sunset neighborhood, is a two-story structure built in 1940 and currently owned by the James & Franci Lee Living Trust. The building's permit history shows several attempts at modifications, including a horizontal addition in 1987 (which ultimately expired), and a ground floor addition in 1985 that was cancelled. A notable building complaint from 2016 reported peeling leaded paint on the structure, though this issue is no longer listed as active.

The property has experienced recurring issues with driveway access, with multiple reports of blocked driveways between 2018 and 2021, resulting in several citations being issued, though officers were unable to locate the offending vehicles in some instances. More recently, there have been two relevant incidents: an open sidewalk and curb issue reported in August 2024, and a resolved street cleaning matter involving loose garbage in April 2022. The building's documented history suggests limited recent structural modifications or major complaints, with the most significant past issue being the 2016 paint condition report.

Risk rating

How 1415 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 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 314 are predicted to be safer.
