Initial analysis

The 1164-1168 18th Street property in Potrero Hill is a 2-story, 3-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1913, currently owned by Jean Barkocy. The building has undergone significant renovations and improvements over the past decade, with the most recent major upgrade being the installation of a 12.95 kW solar panel system completed in 2021. Between 2014-2015, substantial improvements were made including window replacements throughout the building, siding restoration, and interior unit renovations. Unit 1166 received particular attention with a comprehensive kitchen remodel, addition of a half bath, and various utility improvements, all of which were completed to modern standards including the installation of tankless water heaters and new electrical systems.

The building's maintenance history shows proactive addressing of violations and routine inspections, particularly focusing on safety systems in the late 2000s. All documented violations, including stair repairs and fire safety requirements from 2005-2009, were resolved and closed. Recent maintenance records from 2023-2024 indicate ongoing attention to external issues such as debris management and tree maintenance in the vicinity, though these are city-managed services rather than building-specific concerns. The property's permit history shows regular updates to maintain and improve the building's systems and aesthetics, with no current open violations or major safety concerns on record.

Risk rating

How 1164-1168 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
74th percentile

Out of 726 buildings in this neighborhood, 189 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Property class: multi-family flat

2–4 unit flats (class F) are a common SF building type with their own maintenance and complaint patterns.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 61.0%
Moderate concern 29.4%
Severe concern 9.6%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
