Initial analysis

The property at 160 Vicksburg Street is a three-story, two-unit multi-family residential building located in Noe Valley, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Donna & Frederic Boyer. The building underwent significant renovations between 2005-2008, including a major $248,000 construction project in 2005 that added gabled dormers, an additional bathroom, window replacements, and various interior modifications, followed by improvements in 2006 that legalized the second unit, modified bedroom ceilings, and reconfigured garage elements. The property has seen modern upgrades including solar panel installation in 2018 (4.62 kW system) and HVAC improvements with a new furnace installation in 2008. A notable complaint was filed in June 2018 regarding an allegedly unsafe exterior ladder, though this case is currently marked as not active.

Recent maintenance and environmental conditions around the building have been documented through multiple 311 calls in 2024, primarily relating to street and sidewalk issues including debris, graffiti, and encampments. The most recent communications include a sidewalk defect report in March 2024 and multiple encampment-related calls. In 2023, there was a planning record indicating an informational closure regarding options to reduce and alter non-conforming stairs within the rear yard setback. The building's permit history shows regular upkeep and compliance with local regulations, though several permits required renewal for final inspections between 2005-2008. The property remains generally maintained with solar infrastructure and upgraded utilities, though recent street-level issues appear to be more related to public space management than building maintenance.

Risk rating

How 160 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
91th percentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 169 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.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

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

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 79.8%
Moderate concern 9.4%
Severe concern 10.8%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
