Initial analysis

The 4-unit multi-family residential building at 612 Wisconsin St in Potrero Hill, owned by Orantes Living Trust, is a three-story structure dating back to 1900. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the years, including termite and dry rot repairs in 1993, a partial reconstruction of rear decks and stairs in 2004, reroofing in 2005, and sewerline replacement in 2009. The property has experienced some safety-related incidents, with three documented instances of smoke detector activation due to malfunction and one blocked exit complaint in 2009, though none resulted in injuries. A notable legal matter involved the successful legalization of a replacement rear deck and stair structure, with the process completed in 2006 and approved under the jurisdiction of Ayers Architecture.

Recent history shows ongoing maintenance challenges in the vicinity, with multiple calls regarding abandoned vehicles (six instances between July and December 2024), graffiti (two instances), and parking violations near the property. There have also been infrastructure-related issues, including one sewer flooding incident reported in November 2024 and an overgrown tree blocking the sidewalk reported in August 2024 (still open as of this report). While these environmental factors in the surrounding area are noteworthy, it's important to note that the building itself has maintained compliance with major building codes and safety requirements, with no recent fire safety violations or serious housing complaints on record. The property's historical maintenance record suggests regular upkeep, with most repairs and improvements being routine maintenance rather than reactive measures to significant building issues.

Risk rating

How 612 Wisconsin 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
30th percentile

Out of 726 buildings in this neighborhood, 508 are predicted to be safer.

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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 44.3%
Moderate concern 22.0%
Severe concern 33.7%
