Initial analysis

This two-story, six-unit multi-family residential building located at 118 Church Street in the Duboce Triangle neighborhood was constructed in 1968 and is currently owned by Eti Enterprises LLC. The property has a documented history of various maintenance and compliance issues, with the most pressing recent concern being an active complaint from January 2024 regarding unauthorized renovation work in apartment 202. In 2019, the building experienced several maintenance challenges, including heating system problems, security issues with mailboxes, and an incident involving unpermitted roof work. The building underwent significant improvements in 2016 with a completed seismic retrofit (soft-story) to comply with San Francisco Building Code requirements, and in 2014, unit 103 received substantial renovations including kitchen and bathroom updates, electrical upgrades, and compliance with 2014 code requirements.

The building has experienced multiple fire safety-related incidents and complaints since 2010, primarily related to false alarms and system malfunctions, though there was one documented gas leak incident. Historical violations from 2006 indicate previous fire safety system deficiencies that have since been corrected. The property has undergone various improvements over the years, including window replacements (2004), reroofing (1989), and more recent electrical upgrades such as the installation of recessed kitchen lights in 2021. Multiple 311 calls in early 2025 relate to external issues such as street cleaning and graffiti, though these appear to be typical urban maintenance matters rather than building-specific problems.

Risk rating

How 118 Church 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
