Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 1218-1222 18th Street in Potrero Hill is a duplex property constructed in 1900, currently owned by Mussetter Jani. The building has undergone several significant renovations and improvements over the past decade, with the most substantial work occurring in 2019 when both units (1220 and 1222) received comprehensive updates including kitchen relocation, bathroom renovations, and installation of new laundry facilities, with a total cost of $45,000. Earlier improvements included a major electrical service upgrade in 2014 to accommodate three units with 300 amps, and 2016 saw the installation of new wooden window systems, exterior doors, and stone entry features. The property has experienced two notable electrical upgrades, with a complete unit rewire completed in June 2019 and an earlier 2014 service upgrade.

The building's recent maintenance history shows attention to basic infrastructure, though some issues have persisted. A sidewalk defect was reported in October 2020, with one case remaining open regarding a collapsed sidewalk. The property has generated multiple street cleaning and sidewalk maintenance requests between 2019 and 2024, including reports of garbage and debris, though most of these issues were promptly resolved. The 311 service calls indicate regular urban maintenance challenges typical of the neighborhood, including general cleaning needs and some hazardous materials removal, though none of these incidents appear to indicate ongoing problems with the building itself. The property has maintained compliance with planning regulations, having completed the installation of a decorative front fence in accordance with local requirements, and no building code complaints or violations have been recorded since 2019.

Risk rating

How 1218-1222 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

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.

Property class: multi-family flat

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

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 82.2%
Moderate concern 14.3%
Severe concern 3.5%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
