Initial analysis

The two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 162-164 Langton Street in San Francisco's South of Market neighborhood was built in 1907 and is currently owned by Pearl Marie Griset 2018 Fml. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the years, with the most recent major work being the installation of fiber cement siding on the upper rear sides in 2014 at a cost of $10,964, and the installation of a tankless water heater at the garage level in 2011. The property experienced a cluster of building violations in May 2011, including issues with handrails, water heaters, dryer vents, door security features, and the need for fire safety equipment, all of which were addressed and abated by September 2011. A routine safety inspection in November 2007 had previously identified some concerns regarding combustible storage and unapproved wiring, which were also resolved.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to basic infrastructure, with multiple records of roofing work and structural maintenance in the late 1990s, including three separate roofing permits in 1997. More recently, there have been ongoing issues with driveway blocking, as evidenced by multiple parking enforcement calls between November 2024 and January 2025, though these are external to the building itself. The property has also experienced occasional issues with street cleaning requirements, including reports of garbage, debris, and abandoned furniture in the vicinity, though these matters were generally resolved promptly. While the building's maintenance record shows regular upkeep and prompt attention to violations, prospective tenants should note the building's age and the history of various plumbing and safety compliance issues that have been addressed over time.

Risk rating

How 162-164 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.
