Initial analysis

The property at 74-78 Sharon Street is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building located in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood. Built in 1900, this apartment building has undergone several significant maintenance and infrastructure improvements over its history, with particular attention to the roofing system. Most recently, a substantial $24,000 reroofing project was completed in June 2023, following previous roofing work in 2005 (cost: $9,550) and an expired permit from 2000 (cost: $6,850). The building's infrastructure has also seen important upgrades, including a sewer line and house trap replacement completed in 2010, while a notable event in the building's history occurred in 1986 when general repairs were carried out following fire damage.

The property has experienced various maintenance issues in the surrounding area, as documented through 311 calls, with the most recent incidents in 2024 involving parking enforcement and one sewer-related service request. The building's immediate vicinity has faced periodic challenges with street cleanliness, evidenced by multiple reports of loose garbage and debris between 2018-2020, though most of these cases were promptly resolved. Encampment-related concerns were reported in late 2018, but responding agencies verified that no encampments were present at that time. While the building has received regular maintenance attention through proper permitting and work completion, the frequency of roof repairs (approximately every 5-7 years) is noteworthy, suggesting ongoing monitoring of this building component is maintained.

Risk rating

How 74-78 Sharon 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, 703 are predicted to be safer.

Notices of Violation, owner's portfolio

DBI NOVs across all buildings this owner is registered on — a signal of systemic maintenance issues across the portfolio.

Permit rate, owner's portfolio
