Initial analysis

The two-unit, 1-story multi-family residential building at 3993 18th Street in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood, owned by the Suzanne F Boyle Revocable Living Trust, has a documented history dating back to its construction in 1875. The property has undergone several maintenance updates over the years, with particular attention to the roof, having received reroofing in 1990 ($5,000), 1996, and most recently in 2015 at a cost of $6,000. Window improvements were attempted in 1997 with the installation of two vinyl windows, though this permit ultimately expired.

The building's recent history (2023-2024) has been marked by ongoing maintenance needs in the surrounding area, with multiple reports of graffiti affecting both public structures (such as poles and bike racks) and the building itself. While the most recent graffiti incident on the building (August 2023) was categorized as offensive, other documented graffiti incidents were deemed not offensive. The property has also experienced recurring issues with street cleanliness, evidenced by multiple 311 calls regarding loose garbage and debris, though most of these cases have been resolved through city intervention. Notably, there was one encampment cleanup reported in December 2023 that required further assessment after initial engagement. The building's documented permit and maintenance history shows regular upkeep of critical building systems, particularly the roofing structure, though there are some historical permits that expired without confirmation of completion.

Risk rating

How 3993 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
