Initial analysis

The property at 1112-1116 18th Street is a three-story, multi-family residential building constructed in 1906, containing three units and currently owned by the Smith/mcfee 2013 Trust. The building has undergone several significant improvements and maintenance work over the past two decades. Most recently, in August 2023, exploratory work was initiated to assess and repair the concrete foundation, representing the building's current focus on structural maintenance. Previous substantial improvements include the proposed addition of a two-bedroom accessory dwelling unit and a new two-car garage in 2021, which was filed but the current status is unclear. The building has also seen various maintenance and upgrade projects, including termite repairs in 2008, substantial renovations in 2005 involving exterior stairs, garage modifications, and bedroom alterations, as well as the installation of a solar PV system in 2010.

The property has maintained regular compliance with housing inspections, with the only recorded routine inspection occurring in 1999 with no significant issues noted. Recent 311 calls primarily concern external matters including sidewalk defects in 2023, multiple reports of garbage and debris in 2024, and two incidents involving aggressive behavior related to homeless concerns in 2017. The sidewalk issues reported in 2023 represent the only documented infrastructure concerns, while the recent reports of garbage and debris pertain to street cleaning matters rather than building maintenance. The building's permit history suggests active management and maintenance, with particular attention to structural integrity as evidenced by the recent foundation work, and ongoing efforts to improve the property's living space through proposed additional units.

Risk rating

How 1112-1114 18Th 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
