Initial analysis

The three-story, five-unit residential building at 3665-3669 18th Street in Mission Dolores, built in 1904, has undergone several significant renovations and improvements over the past two decades. Most notably, the building completed its mandatory Soft Story retrofit in 2018, which included seismic upgrades with a cost of $100,000, followed by revision work in 2021. The property has seen substantial safety improvements, including the installation of a fire sprinkler system in 2011 at a cost of $14,000, with an additional $1,500 for sprinkler monitoring equipment. Multiple unit renovations have occurred, including a 2014 kitchen and bathroom remodel, roof waterproofing work, and various plumbing updates including water heater replacements.

The building's history includes some concerning events that have been addressed over time. In 2018, a leak was reported in the back bedroom roof, and there have been multiple complaints about unpermitted work and unauthorized unit modifications, particularly regarding the basement level. A significant complaint from 2008 reported various code violations including inadequate egress, hazardous wiring, and plumbing issues, though many of these were subsequently addressed. The property has maintained compliance with recent safety requirements, completing the Soft Story program and receiving the appropriate final certifications. Recent maintenance issues appear minimal, with most 311 calls in 2023-2024 relating to parking violations and general street cleaning rather than building-specific problems.

Risk rating

How 3665-3669 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.
