Initial analysis

The property at 113-117 Arkansas Street in Potrero Hill is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1905, currently owned by the Burkhart Family Trust. The building's maintenance history shows several significant structural and safety improvements over the years, with particular attention to addressing wood deterioration issues in the early 1990s when both termite and dry rot repairs were completed, along with floor and ceiling rebuilds in Unit #113 and #115. More recent structural work includes a street space permit issued in 2018, though this was limited to public right-of-way use with no noted cost.

The building's recent history includes no major building permits indicating significant structural changes or repairs, which may suggest a period of relative stability. However, there has been notable activity around the property in the past year, primarily involving external maintenance issues. Between May and October 2024, there were eight reported incidents of public space maintenance needs, including multiple instances of graffiti (on public infrastructure and mailboxes), garbage and debris removals, and illegal postings. While none of these issues directly indicate problems with the building's structure or systems, their frequency suggests ongoing attention is required for the property's external environment. The most recent permits and 311 calls primarily involve routine maintenance concerns rather than any structural or safety issues within the building itself.

Risk rating

How 113-117 Arkansas 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
