Initial analysis

The 4055-4059 18th Street property is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1946, located in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood and currently owned by the Dana D Kelisky Survivor's Trust. The building has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, including accessibility upgrades in 2022 to the first-floor commercial units, which involved removing entry steps and adding new level landings and ramps at a cost of $12,000. Additional recent improvements include the replacement of a Federal Pacific subpanel in 2021 and a house trap replacement in 2018, demonstrating ongoing maintenance of critical infrastructure systems.

The property has experienced recurring issues with vacant commercial storefronts, with violations recorded in 2019 and 2022, though these were subsequently resolved. Recent maintenance issues in the area have included multiple reports of debris and waste on the property, with the most recent incidents occurring in August 2024. In late 2023, there were several tree-related issues reported and resolved. The building's historical maintenance record shows attention to major systems, with past roofing work completed in 1995 and 2007, and various interior improvements. The property underwent a significant change of use approval in recent years, transitioning from retail of Chaps to grocery and specialty food retail, which aligns with neighborhood commercial district requirements.

Risk rating

How 4055-4059 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.
