Initial analysis

The property at 4064-4068 18th Street is a 3-story mixed-use building constructed in 1901, containing 3 residential units and ground-floor commercial space, currently owned by the Maria Luisa Luna Revocable Trust. The building has undergone several significant modifications over the years, most notably an attempted bathroom removal and renovation for a wine bar conversion in 2014-2015 with associated electrical and plumbing work, though this permit ultimately expired without proper finalization. More recently, there have been ongoing concerns regarding expired permits, with a violation filed in June 2020 indicating multiple permits from 2007-2014 had expired without required sign-offs, generating active monthly monitoring fees under San Francisco Building Code Section 110A.

Recent history of the building shows various maintenance and quality of life issues, including a sewage backup in February 2024, multiple garbage and debris complaints in late 2024, and recurring noise complaints related to entertainment use. The property experienced an unpermitted demolition incident (since abated) and has faced challenges with expired permits relating to both restaurant and residential spaces. The most recent building-related permits from 2018 indicate attempts to resolve previous work through final inspections, though many of these permits are now listed as expired. The commercial portion of the property has been subject to various regulatory processes, including a Conditional Use Authorization in 2018-2019 relating to restaurant use and alcohol licensing, though there have been ongoing noise complaints associated with the location. Multiple street space permits were obtained between 2007-2008, suggesting regular use of public space for building maintenance or commercial purposes.

Risk rating

How 4064-4068 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.
