Initial analysis

The three-unit, two-story apartment building at 6 Ford St in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood was constructed in 1900 and has undergone several significant improvements over the years. Most recently, in August 2023, the building received a water heater replacement, demonstrating ongoing maintenance of essential systems. The most substantial renovation occurred in 2007-2008, involving a comprehensive first-floor remodel including a new kitchen and reconfigured stairs, second-floor remodeling, and the installation of modern amenities such as radiant in-floor heating, solar thermal collectors, and new windows. This period also saw the replacement of an old brick retaining wall with a reinforced concrete structure, improving structural stability.

The building's history includes one notable cluster of violations in July 2004, when multiple issues were identified including problems with window sashes, plumbing fixtures, egress obstructions, and heating systems across all units, though these violations were promptly abated by August 28, 2004. Subsequent improvements between 2005-2008 included electrical system upgrades with partial rewiring of units, installation of modern appliances, and the addition of roof-mounted solar PV modules. The building has maintained relative stability since 2008, with only routine inspections, one "no entry" complaint in 2011, and minimal recent issues, though there is currently an open sidewalk defect case from 2020 and a resolved sewage backup incident from 2012 that suggest some infrastructure challenges in the immediate vicinity.

Risk rating

How 6 Ford 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
33th percentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 856 are predicted to be safer.

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.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 68.0%
Moderate concern 22.2%
Severe concern 9.8%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
