Initial analysis

The property at 142-144 Vicksburg Street is a 2-story, 3-unit multi-family residential building located in Noe Valley, constructed in 1910 and owned by Lynwood S. Rankin. The building has undergone several significant improvements over recent years, including recent window upgrades in 2024 (replacement of a rear window), a complete reroofing in 2021, and an extensive window renovation in 2018 that involved replacing 20 windows with energy-efficient Anderson wood-clad windows. The property's maintenance history shows attention to regulatory compliance, particularly regarding fire safety, with violations from 2000 and 2006 related to fire extinguishers and combustible storage being promptly addressed within approximately two months of each citation.

Historical inspection records indicate previous concerns in the late 1990s, including a notable incident in 1998 involving smoke, knob-and-tube wiring, and insulation issues in the attic, which was resolved within three weeks. A 1997 complaint regarding plumbing and appliance problems was also resolved promptly. More recent history shows primarily external maintenance work, with no active building violations or significant internal issues reported in recent years. The building experienced some external challenges typical for the area, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls regarding parking violations between 2018 and 2023, and two water leak reports in 2020, though these were not directly related to building conditions.

Risk rating

How 142-144 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
48th percentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 977 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 66.7%
Moderate concern 20.2%
Severe concern 13.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
