Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 134-136 Bartlett Street in the Inner Mission is a one-story flats and duplex structure built in 1890, currently owned by Kowitz Braden & Ruth. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade, with the most recent major work in 2022 involving the replacement of dry rot siding on the south side of the building (non-street facing) and installation of new gas tankless water heaters, costing approximately $33,400. The building underwent substantial renovations in 2010-2011, including a 133 square foot horizontal addition, a 183 square foot rear deck, comprehensive interior renovations, and demolition of a dilapidated shed, with this phase of work valued at $150,000. This renovation period also saw the installation of new HVAC systems, plumbing upgrades, and complete electrical system improvements including a new 200-amp main panel and various modern amenities.

The property has experienced frequent parking-related issues in recent months, with multiple reports of driveway blocking and sidewalk parking between October 2023 and December 2024, resulting in several citations being issued. Notably, there was a graffiti incident reported in October 2023 and a construction noise complaint in August 2024. While there was a fire complaint regarding combustible materials in July 2013, this was promptly resolved the following day. The building's systems have been regularly maintained, with proper permits obtained for all major work, including plumbing, electrical, and general building maintenance. A complete plumbing system overhaul, including water, waste, and gas systems, was completed in 2011, along with electrical upgrades supporting modern appliances and safety systems.

Risk rating

How 134-136 Bartlett 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.
