Initial analysis

The 12-unit multi-family residential building at 65 Hill Street, owned by the Wilson Family Trust, dates back to 1900 and is situated in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood. The property, which is classified as a two-story apartment building, has undergone several significant renovations over the past few decades, most notably a unit merger in 1994 that reduced the count from four to three legal flats. Recent improvements include a filed permit in October 2023 for repairs to an existing exterior rear deck, and a substantial kitchen and bathroom renovation in 2014 of Unit B incorporating skylight installation, with associated plumbing and electrical work valued at $50,000. The building has seen consistent maintenance and upgrades, including three solar panel installations (most recently in 2011 with a 2 kW system), an electric vehicle charging circuit installation in 2011, and HVAC improvements including duct system replacement and furnace upgrade in 2011.

The property has maintained a relatively clean record regarding building complaints, with only four noted incidents between 1998-2006, none of which remain active. These included a roof collapse in 1998 (quickly addressed within days) and a brief investigation of an illegal unit that was resolved within two days. Routine housing inspections in 2002 and 2006 did not result in any ongoing concerns. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, with multiple bathrooms remodeled, windows replaced, and roofing work completed. Recent 311 calls have primarily been for parking enforcement issues in 2019 and 2021, and a resolved garbage/debris case in December 2024, none of which directly related to building conditions or tenant concerns. The most recent building permit activity, involving rear deck repairs, suggests ongoing attention to property maintenance, though it is notable that several earlier permits from the 1990s (reroofing in 1999 and a bathroom remodel in 2007) were marked as expired rather than completed or closed.

Risk rating

How 65 Hill 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.
