Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 145 Bartlett Street in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood is a 2-story flats & duplex structure built in 1900, currently owned by the Palmbach-Seidman Family Trust. The property has undergone several significant renovations and maintenance work over the past few years. Most recently, in early 2022, Unit #147 received a comprehensive kitchen remodeling including new appliances, electrical improvements with recessed lighting, and partial rewiring work costing $15,000. In 2019, the building required major infrastructure work including main sewer replacement and street space/sidewalk repairs. Earlier improvements in 2018 consisted of bathroom plumbing upgrades, exterior siding repairs following a violation investigation, and front staircase maintenance, while the building's east wall foundation was replaced in 2004 through a $4,000 project.

The property has experienced some recent maintenance issues, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in 2024-2023, including reports of graffiti, sidewalk blocking by construction equipment, and various street cleaning matters. A notable building violation was recorded in May 2018 regarding unauthorized exterior work that exposed weather elements, though this appears to have been addressed. The front staircase has received attention multiple times over the building's history, with repairs noted in both the 1994 expired permit and 2018 work. The property has maintained active compliance with building codes since the 2018 violation, completing required repairs including new siding installation to match existing materials. The building's recent history shows regular upkeep and modernization efforts, particularly focused on Unit #147's improvements and building systems infrastructure.

Risk rating

How 145 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, 333 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 79.3%
Moderate concern 11.9%
Severe concern 8.8%
