Initial analysis

The four-story, 14-unit apartment building at 3649 18th Street, constructed in 1926 and owned by Oakwood Stone Apartments LP, has undergone significant recent improvements and faced several maintenance challenges over the past decade. Most notably, in late 2022, the building received a comprehensive fire safety upgrade including a new fire alarm control unit, radio communicator, and smoke detection system at a cost of approximately $35,000. In 2024, the building is scheduled to receive an electrical service upgrade from 125-amp to 400-amp, indicating ongoing infrastructure modernization. Between 2018-2020, multiple apartment renovations were completed, including substantial work in Units 1 and 2 involving kitchen and bathroom remodels, electrical upgrades, and new appliance installations, with costs ranging from $32,500 to $50,000 per unit.

The building has experienced several maintenance and safety issues requiring attention. In 2019, there were complaints regarding construction-related damage and debris in an occupied unit, though subsequent inspections were marked as "Not Active." Historical records from 2011 show multiple violations related to building maintenance, including lead paint concerns and stair repairs, which were abated by September 2011. The building is classified as "Tier 4" in San Francisco's Soft Story program, with all required work completed and a Certificate of Final Completion issued. While the property has experienced periodic heating system issues in the past, as evidenced by complaints in 2006 and 2018, recent records suggest improved system performance. The building has maintained compliance with fire safety inspections, with the most recent fire complaints in 2024 and 2020 showing either corrected conditions or no merit findings. Recent service requests from late 2024 primarily relate to exterior maintenance and street-related issues, rather than building-specific problems.

Risk rating

How 3649 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.
