Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 3280-3292 18th Street in the Inner Mission, owned by Maureen Elizabeth Schmidt, was constructed in 1931 and contains four residential units plus commercial space. The building has undergone several significant renovations and maintenance projects over the years, with major work completed in 2008-2009 including kitchen and bathroom updates, electrical system upgrades (including removal of knob and tube wiring, installation of new panel and copper feeders), new furnaces, and plumbing improvements. A fire incident in 2008 required substantial electrical system repairs. The building's roof was replaced in 2009, and a sewer line replacement was completed in 2015.

Most recently, there have been numerous service calls related to street and sidewalk maintenance in late 2024 through early 2025, including issues with garbage and debris, graffiti, and one open noise complaint. The building has an active commercial component, with general advertising signs maintained by Clear Channel Outdoor, Inc., and has undergone various related permits for sign maintenance and installation between 2009 and 2016. The property had one routine housing inspection in 2000, which was not found to indicate any ongoing concerns. While recent 311 calls mainly pertain to street-level issues rather than building-specific problems, there is an open noise complaint from December 2024 that may impact resident comfort.

Risk rating

How 3280-3292 18Th 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.
