Initial analysis

The two-story multi-family residential building at 8 Vicksburg Street in Noe Valley, owned by Spotts R Rolla Trust The Th, is a 1900 flats and duplex structure that has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the past two decades. Most recently, in December 2023, the property underwent bathroom renovations including the replacement of floor and wall tiles, the addition of a shower pan, and electrical updates comprising the replacement of three lights and one GFI in the bathroom, with a combined cost of approximately $10,000. Earlier infrastructure improvements include a complete reroofing project completed in 2001 at a cost of $16,500, and a critical sewer lateral replacement completed in 2012.

The property has experienced some environmental and maintenance challenges over the past few years, particularly related to trees, with reports of damaging property through lifted sidewalk roots (March 2023, open status) and a fallen tree incident (January 2021, resolved). There was also a sewage backup incident in December 2021 that was resolved through a completed work order. The building has faced multiple parking enforcement issues in recent years, with five documented cases of driveway blocking between March 2023 and May 2024, all of which resulted in citations being issued. Two services requests from 2022-2023 remain open - one regarding tree root damage and another for general public works service. The most recent building improvements show active maintenance of the property's facilities, though the infrastructure issues from previous years, particularly regarding sewage systems and tree impacts, indicate some historical challenges with these systems.

Risk rating

How 8 Vicksburg 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
61th percentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 733 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 83.6%
Moderate concern 11.6%
Severe concern 4.8%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
