Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 161-163 Eureka Street, owned by Edmond and Christina Prendivill, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1923 in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the past few decades, with the most recent being the replacement of a 39-gallon gas water heater in May 2024, indicating ongoing attention to building systems. Previous major works include a reroofing project in 2003 ($6,900), a furnace replacement and new flue installation in 2007, and multiple window replacements in the late 1980s and 1990s.

The building has experienced some notable infrastructure challenges, particularly in mid-2016 when there were two consecutive reports of sewage backup issues that required attention from PUC Sewer Operations. A construction-related noise complaint was also filed in late 2016, though it was resolved through communication with the crew involved. More recent history shows typical urban living challenges, including a parking enforcement call in 2021 and an illegal postings complaint that same year, both of which were resolved. A pavement defect was reported in 2009, though it is unclear if this directly affected the property. The building's maintenance record suggests regular upkeep of major systems, with attention to both structural elements like roofing and mechanical systems like heating and water heating.

Risk rating

How 161-163 Eureka 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

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 665 are predicted to be safer.
