Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 4583 18th Street, located in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood, is a 2-story structure built in 1924 and currently owned by the Torrano Survivor's Trust 1991. The most significant recent issue has been a documented rodent infestation, with multiple complaints filed in September 2022 reporting the presence of rodent feces throughout various rooms including the bathroom, kitchen, living room, dining room, sun room, and bedrooms. This infestation, which appears to have begun in August 2022, was accompanied by property damage and concerns about structural gaps under kitchen appliances and doorways potentially allowing rodent entry, though these complaints remain marked as "Not Active" in the Housing Inspection Services system.

The building's maintenance history shows several notable incidents between 2011 and 2024, including two sewer backup incidents in April 2012 involving a 4-inch vent issue, a sidewalk defect complaint in February 2013 regarding a collapsed sidewalk that was inspected with no action required, and a Muni metal grate repair in late 2011. More recent external issues include two parking violations on the sidewalk (August 2024 and October 2023) and a defaced sign (August 2023). While there is a recorded gasoline or flammable liquid spill incident on file, it is noted as having resulted in no civilian injuries. The building has experienced various municipal service interactions over the years, primarily related to exterior infrastructure rather than the building itself.

Risk rating

How 4583 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.
