Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1225-1227 19th Street in Potrero Hill is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1900, currently owned by Towers Two Fmly Ptnrshp. The property has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over the years, with the most concerning incidents occurring between 2008-2010. In 2008, there were multiple violations and complaints related to unauthorized demolition work, including siding removal, window replacement, and dry rot repairs, along with several safety violations concerning lead paint containment and cleanup procedures during construction. These issues were addressed through various permits totaling over $20,000 for deck replacements, dry rot repairs, and stair improvements. In 2010, there was a complaint about an unpermitted structure addition and interior maintenance issues, though these were resolved by September 2010.

More recent improvements include two permit applications in 2014 for concrete stair repairs, with one completed at a cost of $2,500. A 2004 electrical permit for 200-amp service underground conversion was never finalized. The building has experienced two fire incidents on record, with one minor rubbish fire noted (civilian injuries: 0). Recent 311 calls have primarily concerned external issues such as parking violations, tree maintenance, and general cleaning matters near the property, with no building-specific complaints recorded since 2010. The property's most recent structural improvements and maintenance have been focused on stair access, suggesting ongoing attention to safety features, though the pattern of past violations and unpermitted work suggests historical challenges with maintaining proper construction oversight and compliance with building codes.

Risk rating

How 1225-1227 19Th 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.

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 72.9%
Moderate concern 21.0%
Severe concern 6.1%
