Initial analysis

The property at 1403 18th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood is a three-unit, one-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1958, currently owned by the Hisako Yamaguchi Revocable Trust. The building's maintenance records show consistent attention to structural upkeep, with the most recent significant work being a $5,700 reroofing project completed in 2014. The building has undergone three routine safety inspections in 2000, 2002, and 2011, during which multiple fire safety violations were identified and subsequently resolved. These violations included issues with fire extinguishers, fire escape ladder maintenance, smoke detector installation, and egress obstructions, all of which were abated within a very short timeframe (typically within days to weeks of citation).

Recent maintenance concerns have included a damaged side sewer vent cover reported in January 2023, though this was resolved through official channels. The building's recent history shows no active building violations or complaints, and all identified issues have been addressed through proper channels. The property has experienced typical urban neighborhood challenges as evidenced by 311 calls, including parking violations, street cleaning needs, and sidewalk maintenance requests, though these are generally external to the building's structural integrity and safety systems.

Risk rating

How 1403 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.
