Initial analysis

This three-story multi-family residential building, located at 4678-4680 18th Street in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood, was constructed in 1907 and contains three units. The property, currently owned by Mufarreh Properties LP, has a significant history of structural issues and repairs, most notably a serious fire incident in July 2007 that caused damage to the third floor and resulted in extensive repairs throughout the building, including work on all bathrooms and kitchens on each floor. The post-fire rehabilitation was substantial, with permits showing approximately $160,000 in repairs including foundation work, front steps repair, window replacement, and the addition of a new bathroom. The building underwent major electrical and plumbing upgrades in 2008, including the installation of three furnaces, three water heaters, and modernization of electrical systems with 200-amp services for all units.

The property has had several inspections and routine evaluations over the years, with the most serious issues occurring in the early 2000s, including multiple housing code violations related to security requirements. Recent maintenance concerns have primarily been external, with multiple reports of graffiti on and near the property throughout 2023, issues with sidewalk conditions, and a reported damaged tree in 2022. While these recent issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, they appear to be more related to external environment rather than structural building concerns. The most recent building-related permits and construction work were focused on upgrading essential systems rather than addressing emergency repairs, indicating a shift towards routine maintenance and infrastructure upkeep.

Risk rating

How 4678-4680 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.

Neighborhood percentile
65th percentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 447 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.

NOV rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building NOV rate across everything this owner manages — high rates signal pattern neglect.

DBI complaint rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building complaint rate across the owner's portfolio.

Building age

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 75.6%
Moderate concern 9.5%
Severe concern 14.9%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
