Initial analysis

The property at 815-817 Rhode Island Street is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building located in Potrero Hill, built in 1910 and currently owned by Michlmayr & Luks Revoc Trust. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade, with the most recent major works including a reroofing project completed in 2021 at a cost of $11,300, and various plumbing and electrical upgrades. Notable improvements were made in 2019, including the addition of a new retaining wall in the basement, comprehensive remodeling of unit #815 with new kitchen and bathroom installations, and the replacement of a shower pan. The building underwent substantial renovations in 2016, including reconstruction of the rear yard deck and stairs, front yard landscaping, and bathroom modifications.

The property has a history of maintenance issues that were addressed in 2014, when multiple violations were recorded regarding rodent infestation, water damage, mold/mildew, and various interior repairs including electrical outlets and exit door concerns. These violations were all abated by June 10, 2014. The building's systems have been modernized with the installation of a new forced air gas furnace and multiple subpanels in 2013, and there were several plumbing permit activities in 2020-2021 indicating ongoing maintenance. More recent issues have primarily involved the public sidewalk areas, with multiple reports of defects in 2022 that remain open or were recently resolved. The property has also experienced some parking enforcement issues in the vicinity, with several reports of blocked driveways and illegal parking from 2019-2020, though these were typically addressed by enforcement officers.

Risk rating

How 815-817 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.
