Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 183 Villa Terrace in Clarendon Heights, owned by Zelman Scott, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1976. The most significant recent improvement to the property occurred in 2016, when the building underwent substantial renovations including the complete overhaul of two bathrooms and kitchen, featuring new fixtures, tiles, cabinets, and countertops, with an associated cost of $50,000. This renovation was accompanied by comprehensive electrical and plumbing upgrades, including the installation of safety features such as GFCI plugs, smoke detectors, and the replacement of various fixtures throughout the property.

The property has experienced a notable number of municipal service requests in recent months, particularly during September-October 2024, with multiple reports related to parking violations, including several incidents of vehicles parking on the sidewalk. While most of these cases were resolved through official responses, one parking-related case remains open as of September 2024 regarding a curb or curb ramp defect. Other recent municipal interactions include a graffiti incident involving a fire hydrant (September 2024) and various transportation-related requests. An expired permit from 1991 for vinyl siding installation is on record, though this work would likely have been completed given the permit's nature and age. The property has not been involved in any tenant buyout activities directly at this address, though there is a record of a tenant buyout at a different property (456 Corbett Avenue) in 2019 involving one tenant.

Risk rating

How 183 Villa Ter'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
