Initial analysis

This three-story, three-unit multi-family residential building, located at 3810 18th Street in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood, was constructed in 1906 and is currently owned by the Leslie Bahr Irrevocable Trust. The property underwent significant renovations in 2019, including an $80,000 project to expand the garage, infill the light court, and upgrade unit features with new bathrooms, laundry facilities, and compliant emergency windows. This work prompted several complaints regarding dust and debris containment, though these complaints were eventually closed as not active. The building has had various infrastructure upgrades since 2019, including heating system installation, comprehensive plumbing work (kitchens, bathrooms, washer/dryer hookups), and electrical improvements (new circuits and lighting).

Historical compliance issues were documented in 2002 and 2011, including concerns about lead paint hazards, fire safety violations, and an unauthorized wooden utility ladder to the roof, though all these violations were properly abated. The most recent building-related issues primarily involve recent sidewalk defects due to tree root lifting (2024), with multiple parking enforcement requests for driveway blocking also recorded between August and November 2024. A tenant buyout occurred in September 2020, resulting in payment of $82,000 to two tenants. The property shows regular maintenance and upgrading activity, with all major renovation permits from 2019-2020 marked as complete, and no active building violations currently on record.

Risk rating

How 3810 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.
