Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 151-153 Bartlett Street in the Inner Mission neighborhood, owned by Du Lui, has undergone significant recent improvements and faced some maintenance challenges since 2023. Most notably, there was unauthorized construction in 2021 that required subsequent legalization in 2023, involving the conversion of ground floor spaces at 151 Bartlett into part of the top floor unit, for which the owner paid $25,000 to remedy. The property has seen major infrastructure upgrades, including a $55,000 voluntary ground floor strengthening project in 2021, installation of a heat pump system with four wall-mounted units in 2023, and a 200-amp electrical upgrade with meter relocation in late 2023. Currently, there are ongoing improvements, including a third-floor interior remodel (kitchen and wall work) with associated plumbing and electrical updates, valued at over $107,000.

The building has experienced several safety-related incidents and maintenance issues that warrant attention. There have been three fire alarm system malfunctions recorded, though fortunately with no civilian injuries. Multiple plumbing and electrical permits have been issued and completed or canceled throughout 2023 and into 2024, indicating active maintenance of building systems. The property has also dealt with various exterior maintenance issues, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls regarding graffiti (both residential and commercial), general cleaning needs, and curb defects in 2023-2024. While most of these cases have been resolved, they reflect ongoing challenges with building upkeep and neighborhood interactions. A planning record review in 2023 indicated no secondary unit (UDU) found at the property.

Risk rating

How 151-153 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.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 24 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 (ZIP code)

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

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.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 91.2%
Moderate concern 5.9%
Severe concern 2.8%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
