Initial analysis

The two-story, 9-unit multi-family residential building at 183 Eureka Street, owned by Dotterweich Family Trust, was constructed in 1969 and has undergone several significant improvements and maintenance work over the past decade. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory Soft Story retrofit in 2015-2016, installing plywood shearwalls and a special moment frame at a cost of $150,000 to enhance seismic safety. The property has demonstrated ongoing commitment to safety upgrades, including multiple fire sprinkler system improvements between 2015-2017, the addition of carbon monoxide detectors in 2016, and various unit-specific maintenance work such as dry rot repair in 2018.

The building's history includes routine safety inspections and several violations in 2016 related to fire safety equipment, smoke detectors, and common area maintenance, all of which were subsequently addressed and abated. A notable renovation in 2014 converted a storage room into a 416 sq. ft. studio unit, establishing the building's current unit count. Recent maintenance activity includes the replacement of various major systems in 2016, such as the main electrical switch and the installation of a 100-amp meter socket. The building has experienced minimal issues in recent years, with only one minor common area complaint filed in 2023, which was quickly resolved. While there were some graffiti and sidewalk obstruction issues reported in 2019 and 2014 respectively, these were external to the building proper and were addressed through appropriate municipal channels.

Risk rating

How 183 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
11th percentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 1137 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 22.9%
Moderate concern 23.7%
Severe concern 53.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
