Initial analysis

184 Locksley Avenue is a two-story, 6-unit multi-family residential building located in Forest Knolls, constructed in 1964 and currently owned by Steven Lui and Miranda Li. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades, most notably a mandatory seismic retrofit completed in 2017 to comply with San Francisco's wood frame buildings ordinance, and recent renovations to Unit 5 in 2024 which included kitchen and bathroom remodeling with the addition of 20 lights. The property has also received updates to improve energy efficiency, including the installation of 12 vinyl patio doors and 8 double-pane windows in 2008, and a new boiler installation in 2020. A comprehensive renovation of Units 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 was completed in 2008, which included bathroom remodeling and various interior improvements.

The building's maintenance and safety record shows generally responsible upkeep, though there have been some historical issues. A fire escape ladder repair violation was identified and resolved in 2003, and a routine housing inspection complaint from 2011 is currently active. The property achieved Soft Story compliance as a Tier 3 building with work completed and CFC issued, demonstrating commitment to structural safety. Recent 311 calls from 2022-2024 have primarily involved street cleaning and debris removal, which are external to the building itself. A fire violation regarding weeds and grass was issued and rescinded in 2018, indicating prompt attention to environmental maintenance requirements. The building's systems, including plumbing and electrical, have been regularly updated, with proper permits obtained for all major work, suggesting proactive management of the property's infrastructure.

Risk rating

How 184 Locksley 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
60th percentile

Out of 50 buildings in this neighborhood, 20 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Neighborhood location

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

Building size

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 61.9%
Moderate concern 17.6%
Severe concern 20.5%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
