Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 148 Langton Street in San Francisco's South of Market neighborhood has a mixed record spanning several decades since its construction in 1980. The property, currently owned by Elias & Mersini Pamfilis Tr, has undergone minimal documented structural work, with only one permit on record for reroofing work completed in 1989. A notable building complaint was filed in April 2015 concerning unauthorized construction that had reportedly been ongoing for eight months, though this complaint is now listed as not active.

More recent history shows significant street-related concerns in 2024, with multiple reports of sanitation issues including human waste, garbage, and debris between June and October, though these were primarily street-level matters rather than direct building maintenance issues. The property had one recorded fire incident (with an intentionally-caused ignition) and one civilian injury, though the date and specific details of this event are not fully documented in the available records. While there was a fire complaint investigation in 2007 that was determined to have no merit, this appears to be an isolated incident in the building's history. The most recent activity includes various 311 calls related to street conditions, with the most recent being an illegal parking complaint in November 2024 that required police validation.

Risk rating

How 148 Langton 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 430 buildings in this neighborhood, 39 are predicted to be safer.
