Initial analysis

1424-1434 18th Street is a 2-story, 5-unit multi-family residential building with a ground-floor commercial space, constructed in 1910 in Potrero Hill. The property has undergone significant improvements in recent years, with the most recent work in early 2024 involving cable work for PG&E power restoration. In 2022, substantial renovations were completed, including window replacements (23 windows total), interior updates to two units (including kitchens and bathrooms), and electrical upgrades with the installation of a 200-amp panel. The commercial portion has seen notable transformations, including a successful change of use from vacant office space to a specialty grocery store in 2021, followed by the establishment of a restaurant (Cracked & Battered) with liquor license approval.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to both safety and accessibility concerns, with improvements such as a 400-amp service upgrade in 2018, fire suppression system installation, and compliance updates to meet accessibility requirements. While there have been some historical violations from 2004 related to fire safety and interior surface issues, these were all abated by May 2004. More recently, in April 2024, there was a fire code violation issued, though no further details are provided in the records. The property has experienced multiple sidewalk defect reports and several environmental health requests in 2024, indicating ongoing infrastructure and maintenance needs in the surrounding area.

Risk rating

How 1424-1434 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
