The two-story, multi-family residential building at 4632 18th Street is a 4-unit apartment structure located in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood, built in 1915 and currently owned by Marvin R. Fischer. The property has undergone several maintenance and repair projects over the years, including repairs to rear exterior stairs in 2016 ($5,500), reroofing in 2007 ($15,500), and replacement of deteriorated studs on the west side in 1986. Plumbing work was performed in January 2008 for sewer trap replacement.

Risk rating

How 4632 18Th St'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.

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.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

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 53.5%
Moderate concern 22.3%
Severe concern 24.2%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
