Initial analysis

The three-unit, three-story apartment building at 1181-1183 Valencia Street in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood, built in 1900, has undergone significant renovations and improvements over the past decade, with particular attention to safety systems and structural integrity. Most recently, in April 2023, a $14,500 reroofing project was permitted to replace the existing flat roofing with modified bitumen system. Between 2014 and 2017, major improvements included the installation of a comprehensive fire sprinkler system throughout the building and garage ($8,700), foundation work ($20,000), and the successful legalization of a ground floor unit, which involved substantial plumbing and electrical upgrades including a 225-amp service upgrade, new circuits, and smoke detector installations.

The building experienced some construction-related issues in late 2012, with multiple complaints filed regarding unauthorized work and electrical disruptions during renovations, though these complaints are no longer active. Since then, the property has seen systematic improvements to address safety and compliance requirements, including the installation of central heating systems, foundation repairs, and various unit improvements. Records show consistent attention to building maintenance and safety upgrades, with no recent complaints or violations on file, suggesting improved compliance with building codes and regulations. The most recent significant work, the 2023 roofing project, indicates ongoing investment in the building's infrastructure by the owner, Celeste D. Smith.

Risk rating

How 1181-1183 Valencia 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

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.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 59.8%
Moderate concern 29.9%
Severe concern 10.3%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
