Initial analysis

Located in Potrero Hill, 906 Rhode Island Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1900. The property underwent significant renovations in 2012-2013, including major interior alterations throughout both units with updates to kitchens and bathrooms, installation of new cantilevered decks and a spiral stair, addition of skylights, and construction of two dormers. During this period, comprehensive electrical rewiring was completed in multiple rooms including kitchens and bathrooms, along with plumbing upgrades to remodel three bathrooms and two kitchens, and the installation of three shower pans. The building's exterior received attention with siding repairs on all sides, and street-related improvements were made in late 2013.

A building complaint was filed in January 2012 regarding unpermitted construction work, though this was abated within a month. The property has had routine maintenance issues, such as stair repairs in 1989 due to wood rot. More recent history (2018-2024) shows several parking-related incidents in the vicinity, including multiple complaints about illegal parking and sidewalk parking, as well as issues with abandoned vehicles, though these are not directly related to the building's condition or management. The most recent building-related activity was a street sign repair in August 2024, indicating the property's general maintenance has been handled through proper channels since the 2012-2013 renovation period.

Risk rating

How 906 Rhode Island 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
45th percentile

Out of 726 buildings in this neighborhood, 399 are predicted to be safer.
