Initial analysis

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 118 Texas Street in Potrero Hill, owned by Rafael & Maria Ramirez Revo, is a two-story structure built in 1900 that includes both flat and street-level commercial space. The property's documented history spans several decades, with some concerning patterns emerging. Most notably, there was a significant safety-related incident in May 2022 when residents reported unsafe rooftop conditions in Unit B, including unsecured furniture and inadequate safety barriers, though this issue was marked as abated by June 2022. Earlier modifications to the property include multiple permits from the 1980s for interior improvements, such as kitchen and bathroom renovations in 1987 and window replacement work in 1985, though these permits are now expired. A more serious concern arose in December 2001 when there was an unauthorized interior construction complaint involving new walls and windows, with reports of work being conducted during late-night hours and weekends. The building's permit history also shows a cancelled document from 1984 regarding partial damage to the rear structure, though the specific circumstances remain unclear. The only parking-related incident on record was a bicycle lane blockage reported in February 2020, which was processed through standard enforcement channels.

Risk rating

How 118 Texas 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.
