Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 4717-4719 18th Street, owned by Paul K Mohabir, was constructed in 1904 and has undergone several significant renovations over the past decade. The most substantial improvements occurred between 2014-2016, including comprehensive remodeling of both units with work on bathrooms, kitchens, and living spaces totaling over $130,000. This period also saw critical infrastructure upgrades including sewer replacement, backwater valve installation, and electrical rewiring of the rear unit. A notable incident occurred in late 2015 when unit 4717 experienced flooding due to faulty plumbing connected to the city sewer line, resulting in multiple complaints and requiring subsequent inspections and repairs, though these issues were officially abated by February 2016.

The building has maintained regular upkeep, with historical records showing roof replacements in 1989, 1991, and 1999, as well as repairs to front stairs and flue. More recent concerns primarily center around external maintenance issues, including multiple reports of graffiti (most recently in 2023) and two instances of parking enforcement calls in 2024. The property has undergone various improvements to address both units' needs, as evidenced by numerous permits for plumbing, electrical, and building work, with most recent maintenance focusing on routine issues rather than structural or safety concerns.

Risk rating

How 4717-4719 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
