Initial analysis

The 9-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 3350-3358 18th Street in the Inner Mission, owned by Banayat Family LLC, has undergone several significant changes and improvements since its construction in 1962. Most recently, in 2022, the property converted a former grocery/retail space into a restaurant with associated infrastructure improvements, including accessible bathrooms and new electrical work, at a cost of approximately $90,000. The building successfully completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit program in 2020, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements. Historical records show systematic maintenance and improvements, including a fire alarm system upgrade in 2011, reroofing work in 2006, and various plumbing and electrical upgrades in recent years.

The building has experienced recurring issues with its fire alarm system, with multiple complaints and incidents documented between 2015 and 2023, typically related to false alarms or system malfunctions, though most were promptly addressed and corrected. Recent violations from September 2023 highlighted several fire safety compliance issues in common areas, including problems with fire extinguishers, a fire escape ladder, and required compliance affidavits, though these were abated by October 2023. Historical tenant complaints from 1999-2002 revealed various maintenance concerns, including security issues, plumbing problems, and instances of pest control problems, which appear to have been resolved. The property has maintained its housing code compliance through regular inspections and required retrofits, including the completion of the soft-story program under tier 4 designation. The most recent building permits and violations suggest ongoing attention to fire safety systems, though periodic issues with alarm functionality continue to be addressed as they arise.

Risk rating

How 3350-3358 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.

Neighborhood percentile

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.

NOV rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building NOV rate across everything this owner manages — high rates signal pattern neglect.

Building size

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 16.8%
Moderate concern 33.8%
Severe concern 49.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
