Initial analysis

The property at 1318-1320 18th Street in Potrero Hill, owned by Bulldog Property LLC, is a two-story, four-unit mixed-use building constructed in 1936, containing residential units and commercial space. The building has undergone several significant modifications and faced multiple compliance issues over the past decade. Most recently, in 2023, there was a mechanical equipment noise complaint, and in 2021-2022, there were multiple complaints regarding entertainment noise. The building has seen repeated efforts to address accessibility requirements, with permits filed in 2019 and 2022 for ADA-compliant improvements, including electric door openers. There were several controversial construction projects, including an unpermitted wood trellis removal in 2021 and a revoked permit for a wood platform construction in 2021, which led to a building complaint about unauthorized construction and excessive noise.

The property has a history of infrastructure improvements, including a comprehensive electrical upgrade in 2013 featuring solar panels, a new electrical system, and grounding improvements. Plumbing work was performed in 2021 for gas line repairs. The building experienced some utility issues, with a sewage backup incident reported in June 2021. The commercial portion of the building, operating as Bloom's Bar, has been the subject of multiple regulatory actions, including a 2012 overcrowding issue that was promptly corrected, and various permits related to outdoor seating and event approvals. The property has had recurring issues with tree roots lifting the sidewalk, as documented in multiple 311 calls between 2020 and 2017, affecting both the sidewalk and curb areas.

Risk rating

How 1318-1320 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.
